Good Morning All,
I hope you had a great day yesterday.
Below are some learning activities for today.
English
| Learning Objective/Focus: | Spelling Silent letters | |
| Main input | As we know, spelling in English is tricky! There are rules, but there are always exceptions to the rules. Today we are going to investigate words with silent letters. | |
| Activities | Choose five words from the list in the column below that you do not know how to spell independently. Practise writing them neatly and use each one in a sentence. | |
| Look at the following words: Knight Lamb Numb Comb Knock Scissors Write Wriggle Ghost Wren Knit Whale Wrap Calm Would Should Knot Gnome Climb Wrong Crumb Hour Knee Sword Doubt Kneel On a piece of paper neatly draw 6 columns and sort the words according to their silent letters. You could find some of your own to add to the lists. | ||
| Here are some more words with silent letters: Island, silhouette, champagne, wreckage, wreath. Choose 5 words with silent letters that you do not know how to spell and write a fun mnemonic to help you remember how to spell them. A mnemonic is a phrase that uses the letters of the words in the correct order. eg crumb clever rats understand my books | ||
| Extension Activity Ideas | Read the attached story; Ben’s Eventful Day and correct the spellings. |
