These are the spelling patterns that we are learning in Class 4 this week:
Year 3 Seals
Creating adverbs by adding the suffix –ly to root words ending in ‘y’ with more than one syllable (change the ‘y’ to ‘i’ then add ‘ly’ – happy to happily) e.g. happily, angrily, lazily, easily, busily, greedily, messily, wearily, cheekily, clumsily.
Year 4 Surfers
Words with a /shuhn/ sound spelt with ‘tion’ (if the root word ends in ‘te’ or ‘t’ or has no definite root word) e.g. invention, injection, action, question, mention, attraction, translation, devotion, position, solution.
Year 4 Waves
Words with the ‘ow’ phoneme e.g. down, gown, frown, clown, town, howl, growl, owl, now, how.
