Word Mountains
Children are given weekly spellings to learn at home and they will be tested on a Friday.
Each child has a yellow word mountain card which is updated in school after their spelling test. Please make sure their Word mountain card is in their book bag on a Friday so we can update it.
Children need to learn how to spell these words with the correct formation and orientation. They will be moved up when they can spell all 10 words correctly in school.
Below is a copy of the word mountains.
