I will give out the spellings on a Friday, to be tested the following Friday.

These are your spellings for the week. I have included words with hyphens, two words from our history this week and a couple from the year 5/6 wordlist. (Red group – Year 3/4 wordlist) Please find out what all your spelling words mean if you are unsure. You can practise them using rainbow writing today. spellings 08 01

E.g. co-operate       re-apply

Hyphens are also sometimes used to make compound words. Most of these are adjectives, like this:

E.g. sugar-free      well-known     open-mouthed
