|Use words from both the Year 5 / Year 6 spelling list and any other spellings from class that you may |

|find a little tricky or need a little more practise with. |

|1 |Make a mnemonic |

| | |

| |Pick some words and write your own mnemonic to remember the spelling. Here are some examples below: |

| |forty – four oranges rolled towards you |

| |yacht – yellow animals can’t hide tomatoes |

| |necessary – never eat crisps eat salad sandwiches and remain young |

|2 |Saying out spelling |

| | |

| |Pick some words and say them as you would spell them. |

| |bargain – bar - gain |

| |secretary – sec - ret - ary |

|3 |Make a puzzle |

| | |

| |Make a word search with some words. |

| |or |

| |Make a crossword by looking up the words in a dictionary and using the definition as the clue. |

|4 |Poster |

| | |

| |Think of a spelling rule and make a poster explaining the rule. Perhaps the border can be words that follow that rule. |

|5 |Mindful colouring |

| | |

| |Write some words in the frames and colour the background. Once completed display them in places where you will see them |

| |regularly (e.g. the fridge door, bedroom mirror…). |

|6 |Clued Spelling |

| | |

| |Using clues for the tricky bit e.g. necessary – one collar and two sleeves. |

|7 |Connections |

| | |

| |Randomly pick two words and write them both in one sentence. |

| |My neighbour is a soldier. |

| |Then add another word into the sentence. How many can you add? |

| |My marvellous neighbour is a soldier. |

|8 |Colourful Pens |

| | |

| |Write the word out three times, writing all the consonants in one colour and the vowels in another colour. Then write them out|

| |again but this time write each syllable in a different colour. Then write it out in as many different styles you can think of.|

|9 |Pyramid |

| | |

| |Write out some words building a word pyramid. Which word will go on the bottom? Which will go on top? What other shapes can |

| |you make? |

|10 |Beat the Clock |

| | |

| |Type the word on your tablet, phone or laptop with the stopwatch function open. Then type it again trying to beat your last |

| |time. What is the quickest time you can type the word? Challenge a friend to beat your time. |
