|
Teacher highlights the key words that begin with a soft ‘c’ which sounds like an ‘s’. Children list words that have that beginning sound and distinguish whether they begin with a soft ‘c’ or letter ‘s’.
Emphasise also that soft ‘c’ sound spelling is with a ‘c’ and not an ‘s’ and can be in the middle or end of the word e.g. innocent (middle) distance (end)

Illicit to children the difference between the ‘rime’ sound ‘our’ and ‘iour’
i.e. our = sounds like ‘our’ but ‘iour’ has a ‘your’ sound ending,
Clue to helping children to memorise spelling of ‘iour’ ending words is to use the spelling strategy of ‘saying it silly’ e.g. be hav i our

Revise the rime sound ‘shon’ as in previous week using the rime ‘tion’ and now introduce the rime ‘sion’ which also has this sound, the ‘ion’ preceded by ‘s’ this time and not ‘t’ as in ‘tion’.
As in ‘tion’ ending words, using the spelling strategy ‘say it silly’’ can often help children to memorise the spelling of these more complex words e.g.

scenario, scene, scenery, science, scientist, scissors, conscience
|
As in previous week’s spelling, remind of the ‘i’ before ‘e’ rule except after ‘c’ to illustrate the spelling of these words. Using ‘ei’ after ‘c’ gives an ‘see’ sound. Highlight that the rule doesn’t apply to the word ‘science’ where it has an ‘I’ sound and has an ‘ei’ spelling. This is also the case for ‘conscience’ but the rime is different sounding ‘shence’. It is helpful in the spelling of these more complex words to use syllabification strategies.

accurately, conceitedly, consequently, correctly, dangerously, friendly, incorrectly, negatively, positively, prematurely, quickly, quietly, sincerely, strangely, comfortably, probably, suitably, terribly, hungrily, necessarily, noisily, guiltily
|
Highlight as in related grammar tasks below that ‘ly’ words are ‘adverbs’ and these are created using adjective + adding ‘ly’. (Though not for all adverb – some are irregular e.g. fast)
Grammar: focus on ‘adverbs’ usually having ‘-ly’ ending from the adjective. For example:
sincere…..becomes………sincere + ly
quiet………becomes………quiet + ly
hungry …..becomes ……..hungrily (drop ‘y’ + ily)
terrible…..becomes……..terribly (drop ‘e’ + y)

Highlight that these words end with the suffix ‘ship’ and ‘hood’ and that the meaning of ‘ship’ and ‘hood’ when added to the root word emphasises
‘the state or condition of being an…….apprentice/fellow/friend/member’ i.e. being part of a larger group of the noun.

Grammar Rules:
Plurals when only adding ‘s’ when word ends in a consonant. e,g. ghost + s
Highlight that when words ending in ‘f’ e.g.
loaf, elf, shelf, knife and life are turned into their plural form by replacing the ‘f’ ending with a ‘ves’ ending = loaves, elves, shelves, knives and lives.
Other words ending in "f," "fe" and "ff" can be turned plural by simply adding "s" to the end of the word e.g. giraffe (giraffes), cliff (cliffs)
Some words, such as ’dwarf’ and ‘scarf’ can be made plural either way.
