Dear Parents and Carers,
For spellings, children will all learn the same set of words. There will always be a list of 10 words, however, if you feel your child is finding it tricky to learn the entire list, encourage them to learn the first 6. In this case, they will also only be tested on the first 6 in class.
Spellings (all children): homophones and near homophones: encourage your child to think about the meaning of the words as they are learning them.

The children will be writing a letter to Emperor Claudius explaining why they should be chosen to be one of his valiant warriors.
