Year 3 List Term 5
Please find below the spelling rules that your child will be learning in class during Term 5. Below each rule is a list of words that match the rule. We will be
undertaking different writing activities in school throughout the week related to the spelling rules, which will help them to learn the word lists. However, it
would also be helpful for you to spend some time with your child learning the spellings each week at home. Hopefully this combined effort (from both
school and home) will improve the accuracy of spelling in your child’s writing.
