Year 5 - Spelling List and Neat Hand Plans



1. Spellings

Sometimes an 'o' can sound like a 'u' e.g. 'oven' can sound like it should be spelt 'uven'

oven
among
come
money
government
discover
none

'u' often makes an indistinct, or unclear sound which can make it difficult to hear that it is in the word.

antique
cheque
business
Saturday
laugh
aunt

Some words may seem to have too many 'u's in them.

unusual
queue (don't confuse this word with 'cue' - a billiard or snooker cue)

(You can get a print out of this information here.)

Learn these spellings using the look-say-cover-write-check method. You will be tested with a dictation on Friday.

2. On blank A4, create a neat copy of one of your hand plans. Colour in the hand with flesh tones using a pencil. Put your name neatly in one corner of the plan. This work will be displayed, so keep it super tidy! Please include your original brainstorm at the top of the plan.
