Please learn the following words for a spelling test. This week we are learning words from the Year 5 and 6 Spelling List:

average   competition   forty   identity   leisure   marvellous   neighbour   persuade   restaurant   temperature  vegetable 

This week I would like you to write a sentence containing each word to show that you understand the meaning.  Please look up words in a dictionary to help you.  Can you use commas, full stops and capital letters correctly?  Can you use some direct speech in your sentences?  Can you use a relative pronoun such as that, which, who, whom and where? Can you use a modal verb or time-fronted adverbial?  Can you use brackets, dashes and commas 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.
