Written Homework to be completed by Tuesday 27^th February 2024

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

alter   altar   cereal   serial   compliment   complement   profit   prophet   desert   dessert   draft   draught   

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? 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.
