Spelling and Grammar
Hi year 4
This week we are going to focus on using really powerful words in our writing! When you are writing stories I want to be wowed by the vocabulary choices you make so this will give you lots of practice.
First let’s get your brain working – try this activity 3 times this week and see if you can come up with different words each time. Remember to time yourselves – 5 minutes each time!
Now try these activities to help you in improve your word choices.
Now I think you are ready to write some amazing fantasy stories. Complete the word challenge first and then choose a picture to use to inspire you to write me a fantastic story. Remember to use everything you have learnt earlier in the week.
Parent Explanation
Within the Year 3 and 4 spelling curriculum, children are required to correctly spell words where
'y' can sound like an 'i' if it falls in the middle of a word. For example, in the word gym, the 'y' makes a short /i/ sound.
Complete the activities which focus on different spelling rules. Enjoy!
