As you are aware, in order for your child to make ARE (Age Related Expectation) in Writing and be 'Secondary Ready' by the end of Year 6, their spelling must be incredibly accurate. By May, each child must be able to spell most of the Year 3/4 and Year 5/6 spelling words correctly from the National Curriculum for us to enter them as 'working at ARE'.

As we have progressed through the year, we have discovered that for the majority of children, the Year 5/6 words are frequently spelt accurately in their writing. However, the Year 3/4 words are proving to be a problem. With this in mind, we have sent you the Year 3/4 and Year 5/6 words so that you can go over the words your child struggles with at home.

We hope this helps; many thanks for your continued support!
