English

Wednesday's starter:

As we are nearing the end of term, we need to complete a spelling assessment. Please listen closely to the words for the different sounds. They will be tough because we are looking to see what sounds you recognise. You may pause the video after each spelling if you need longer to write it down. Have a pen and paper ready!
