Spellings: Homophones

Using the homophone list in your home learning pack that you will have worked on, ask your parent/carer/older sibling to dictate sentences to check your understanding of spelling these words.

For example, the sentences for the homophone pair 'brake/break' could be:

The driver had to brake hard when the fox ran across the road.

After driving for several hours, the driver needed a break.

Remember that all the words in each sentence should be spelled correctly and punctuation should be accurate.

🌟Mrs Burton's Ongoing Project - Who is your hero?🌟

When I was in primary school I did a project all about my hero. It took me weeks! I learned lots of facts, made a booklet, drew and cut out pictures, and I can still remember facts about Gary Winston Lineker now! So it's your turn, choose someone who you admire, learn all about them, then show what you know in whatever way you want e.g scrapbook, PowerPoint, poster. This should be a project you work on over the next few weeks rather than complete in 1 session
