Written Homework to be completed by Tuesday 10^th February  2026

Please learn the following words for a spelling test. This week we are learning more homophones and near homophones:

who’s    whose     bridal    bridle      compliment   complement     deer    dear    blue   blew    write    right

This week I would like you to write a sentence containing each word to show that you understand the meaning.    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 to show degrees of possibility (should, could, would, maybe, will) or a time-fronted adverbial (next, firstly, secondly, finally)? Can you use parenthesis using brackets 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.
