Spelling Games - something for the whole family
Keen to have a little spelling fun with your family away from the computer?
Try this playful learning idea - Spelling Noughts and Crosses.
Here are the rules:
Write out your spelling list for this week and give a copy to both players. On your turn, flip your list so that you can’t see the words and ask your partner to choose a word for you to spell. If you get it right, you can place a symbol on the board. If you get it wrong you miss your turn. All other rules are like traditional Noughts and Crosses.
Can you spell and think strategically?
Who is the champion in your family?

Spelling Lists - Term Four
Personalised Spelling
Listen to this audio file and record each of the words in your English book. If you need more time to record any of the words just press pause, then go on when you are ready.
When you have written each of the words, see your teacher for a typed version of the list that you can use to check your attempts.
Your personal spelling list for the week will consist of your first 20 errors. If you do not make 20 errors from this list see your teacher for this week's themed extension words.
Good luck super spellers!

Spelling Activities
When building your spelling vocabulary it is useful to focus on two different types of practice. One targets the actual spelling of the word, the other focuses on how to use the word in context.
Over the course of the week, try to complete at least one activity from the Word Properties and Memorisation document, and one from the Word Meaning and Usage. You'll soon see the results.
