1. Please learn the following words for a spelling test. This week we are learning to spell words homophones:

farther  father   guessed   guest   heard   herd   led   lead   mourning   morning  

2. This week I would like you to write a sentence containing each word to show that you understand the meaning.  If you do not know the meaning please look up the word in the dictionary.  Can you use commas, full stops and capital letters correctly?  What adjectives can you use to create an expanded noun phrase?  Can you add a conjunction such as however or despite?  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.
