Year Six and Five Spelling Homework

I'm feeling generous this week, so no Prose homework - focus on finishing your Comprehension & beginning the Spelling sentences.

**Year Five**
This week's spellings are words ending in 'u' and 'i'.

Test next Tuesday. Don't forget to write an example sentence for every spelling word. Don't know the word? Look it up with a dictionary, please!

**Year Six**
Your spellings are words you need to describe a location (a setting). Why not play a Spelling City game to help you learn these spellings?

Test next Tuesday. Don't forget to write an example sentence for every spelling word. Don't know the word? Look it up with a dictionary, please!

P.S. Year Five and Six comprehension homework due on Wednesday.
