Spelling

Essential Lists

At the beginning of Lock Down you all received a blank copy of the Essential Spelling list that your child was working through.
If possible, please re-test your child and highlight the words known. 
For spelling get them to write 5 of the words they do not know 10 times then get them to write some sentences with the words (make sure the sentences have capital letters and full stops/?/! in the right places.

Here is a link to Wairakei School's Essential Lists
