Please learn the following words for a spelling test. This week we are learning words with the prefix over-:

overthrow   overturn   overslept   overcook   overreact   overestimate   overuse  overpaid   overlook   overbalance 

This week I would like you to write a sentence containing each word.  Include as many of the following as you can:

• Can you use commas, full stops and capital letters correctly? 
• Can you use some direct speech in your sentences including different words for ‘said’? 
• Can you use a relative pronoun such as: that, which, who, whom and where?
• Can you use an expanded noun phrase or a model verb to show possibility?
• Can you use parenthesis – brackets, commas or dashes to show additional information?  

Please refer to the ‘Monarchy’ Sheet that gives different strategies for how to learn spellings. This has been stuck in the front of your child’s Homework Book.
