Dear Parents/Carers, Your child has been given a Spelling Bee booklet. The booklet contains information about our new and exciting Spelling Bee. Your child’s teacher will indicate which list your child should learn and will speak to parents of children with any special educational need, which may require a different list/approach. The first set of words ‘Autumn 2’ will be assessed during the week of 11th December. Please try to practise the words (a few every night) between now and then using the ‘look, cover, write, check’ method. Look at the word – notice the spelling patterns/tricky parts of the word Cover the word Write the word from memory Check Some children may find it easier to use magnetic letters to build the word rather than write it. If you have any questions, please speak to your child’s teacher. Thanking you for your continued support,
Miss Harvey Assistant Headteacher
