Thank you,

Hi parents/ caregivers,

I know we have already learnt these spelling words but i think A3 still needs to work on these words.

To make it interesting, if you have any chalk you can get children to practice these words on concrete outside. You can also just get them to practice on a scrap piece of paper.
