Spelling
For spelling, we follow the Spelling Seeds which complements the Literary Curriculum. It provides weekly, contextualised sequences of sessions for the teaching of spelling that include open-ended investigations and opportunities to practise and apply within meaningful and purposeful contexts. The objectives and spelling words match the Literary Curriculum text being covered to make for purposeful application. Sessions are taught as single one-off lessons, across three days. The children will come home with a set number of spellings to learn and will be tested the following week. These spellings are usually linked to the spelling rule in class or the common exception words.
