The following is a list of words students must learn for the week’s spelling test and class competition. Included is the “Word Attack” task they must complete which will help them learn how to spell the words. Students will be tested on spelling and meanings of the words and the Word Attack tasks will be collected for marking.
All students have a copy of this sheet. If they lose it they will need to ask me for another or work from this page.
