Welcome to our Superhero Spelling Page!

We are very excited to introduce a new spelling scheme across the school. This scheme will support your children’s progress in spelling, phonics and reading. We feel passionately about this new initiative and we can’t wait to see your children reach their full potential whilst making learning fun.

On this page, you can find our weekly spelling words for your child to learn and practise. These words will also be uploaded onto SpellBlast on HWB, where the spellings can be accessed in a fun and interactive way.

If a prefix (something you add to the start of a word) ends in a vowel (a,e,i,o,u) and the root word begins with a vowel, adding a hyphen (-) will make things clearer.

Week 3

Rule:

1. 'ant' vs 'ent' ending (suffix)

If you cannot add 'ation' to the base word, it is usually spelled 'ent'.
