Friday 1^st February

Spellings: This week we have been thinking about the suffix ‘cial’ and ‘tial.’ We have identified that the rule is: if the root word is ending in a vowel (a, e, i, o or u) then it is usually a cial ending. Tial endings if the root word ends in a consonant. Beware there are exceptions! Always use a dictionary to check our spellings!

1.     Social

2.    Essential

3.    Torrential

4.    Special

5.    Substantial

Reading: This week we have read our new class book, ‘The Promise.’ We have also been reading our own chosen books from home or from the school library. As a class, in our teaching of reading lessons, we have been reading a text called, ‘Gaby to the Rescue.’ This is about a Siamese cat who is stuck up a tree. The children have worked in groups to find out the meaning to new words and discussed their answers they would put to answer the SATs questions.

Happy Weekend!
