Year 5 Spellings Autumn 1 2014 As part of the New National Curriculum for English, Year 5 and 6 teachers have been given a word list with a mixture of words children frequently use in their writing and those which they often misspell. For the next five weeks we will be using these key words as a basis for our spelling test. After half term we will revert to learning spellings with specific letter strings and sounds.

We have talked about different ways of learning spellings, and as usual all I ask of the children is that they try their best each week. Thank you for your continued support. Kelvin
