Spelling

Learn Spelling Words for Thursday.

Vocabulary this week is based on words ending in 'al and ial'. These may be found at:

http://www.spellingcity.com/view-spelling-list.html?listId=5234607

Pupils working solely on the core list are expected to:

• research at least another 4 words ending in 'al'or 'ial'; try to choose challenging words to add to your list, or
• 4 personal words (errors) from previous weeks.

Remember if you spelt any words incorrectly, you will need to learn these so you can transfer them to your 'friendly' word list in your 'Helpful Spelling Jotter'
