Date: 4th May 2020 @ 12:35pm

Hi Y1

Hope you are all well and your families are too!

Before I let you know your spellings for this week, I want to give a big shout out to Ewan, who has been learning all about electricity with what looks like a little help from some Marvel Superheroes!  Ewan must be a superhero himself to do these circuits as now, since 2014, we only learn about electricity in the juniors!  I also loved your lifecycle of a butterfly, Ewan!

Now for this week’s spellings.  Please learn to read and spell these words that contain the alternative pronunciation of y rule.  You would also benefit from writing sentences containing the words with the correct punctuation, conjunctions and adjectives.

Please find the words that Mrs Duffy’s and Mrs Taylor’s classroom phonics group need to learn below:
