Spelling List 12

Here is the spellings for this week. Please test your children at home, especially the spellings they find difficult. Encourage them to try spellings on their own, without looking at the angry bird book and then check their spellings. We practise them everyday in school but it is so important to practise the spellings every night at home.  Keep up the hard work EP1 Purple!!!

Spelling List 11

Here is the spelling list for this week. We are trying the LOOK, SAY, COVER, WRITE, CHECK method. If the children want to practise this method on a sheet of paper, that is fine , then write the spellings out three times in angry bird book. Get your children to look, say, cover, write and check each spelling. Really get the children to test themselves when covering the spelling; no peeking. If they get it wrong encourage them to learn from their mistakes. 🙂
