The spelling patterns we are learning in Class 4 this week are:
Year 3 – Seals: More homophones (A homophone is a word that is pronounced the same as another word but differs in meaning and may also differ in spelling.) e.g. berry / bury, brake / break, meat / meet, ball / bawl, fare / fair.
Year 4 – Surfers: Words with /shun/ endings spelt with ‘sion’ (if root word ends in ‘se’, ‘de’ or ‘d’) e.g. division, invasion, confusion, decision, collision, television, revision, erosion, inclusion, explosion.
Year 4 – Waves: Words with the ‘er’ phoneme e.g. term, fern, herd, herb, adder, letter, river, farmer, better, super.
