Spelling homework/information

We are using a new phonics and spelling programme in Year 2 this year, so we will be trying some different ways to do our spelling over the first few weeks.

If you need some ideas on how to help your child practise their spellings, check out the image I have uploaded below - this can also be found in your child's homework folder.

We are yet to start spelling tests, as we do review lessons on a Friday of the previous week. During this session, we will be looking to spell many of the words learnt throughout the week - which you can find below.

Our next review lesson will be: Friday 20th September
