It doesn’t make sense to me to give children lists to learn where all the words have the same suffix grapheme. The difficulty I see is in choosing which suffix grapheme to apply. So just thinking where this fits in to the teaching.

Thanks for replying. I mean like these rules in ks2.

I am contemplating the teaching of spelling in mixed age KS2 classes. I really like the work of @suchmo83.bsky.social@missiebee.bsky.social and whole class phoneme focus but with differentiated spelling lists. Where would you recommend fitting the teaching of rules into this?

Yep and really feeling it with now 3 year groups and new initiatives.

I would love more consideration of mixed-age classes to happen. There are so many potential benefits but it seems you are constantly pushed towards squeezing in each years groups work.

Amazing thank you. Sorry a bit slow on the response. Enjoying those last moments of summer! Now to work out how to DM on here?!

Hidden figures and Curiosity the mars rover are fabulous if you’re linking to yr5 space. I adapted from literacy tree planning which was helpful.

We have used this to write setting descriptions, 2 contrasting ones looking at how important the choice of vocabulary is for creating the atmosphere and then section of narrative including dialogue.

I’d be interested to hear more about outdoor learning that you do with UKS2. Please tell?
