Spelling
Our school has created its own be-spoke spelling scheme following key National Curriculum objectives and will take children through the statutory and non-statutory spelling lists in each age phase as well as spelling rules. The whole-school scheme of work for spelling gives 100% coverage of the National Curriculum. The scheme is broken up into weekly objectives with a list of spellings to be sent home for each week.
Year 1 – 6 are taught through the year specific spelling patterns. Daily spelling sessions take place which all follow a consistent structure of introducing a spelling rule, learn/remember previously taught spellings, reading new spellings linked to the taught spelling rule, understanding the construction of the spellings using our strategies and apply our learnt spellings into dictated sentences.
Children are taught 5 strategies for unpicking a word: phonology, orthography, morphology, etymology and graphology.
All children have access to SpellingFrame at home and are encouraged to go on at least three times a week to take part in spelling games which reinforce taught spelling rules.
These spellings are set on SpellingFrame each week where the children can practise them at home and in school through a variety of different interactive games and activities.
A copy of the spellings are also sent home each Friday to be shared and practised with parents.
