Year 4 Spelling Homework
Group 3
Date: 29.01.16
This week’s spelling focus is on words with an ‘-al’ ending.
We will be revisiting it in a variety of contexts during Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday’s literacy
lessons, ready for a spelling test and dictation on Thursday.
Please use the weekend to start:
 learning your group’s ten words
 discussing their meaning (in the space below under ‘what does each word mean’)
 using them in different contexts
