    Spellings

    Children have spellings sent home weekly - we provide ideas to help make these fun!

    By the end of Year 2 children should know all of the words listed in the ‘Year 2 section’ below.

    If your little person has achieved this goal before the end of the year, please get cracking on the Year 3 Common Exception words!
