Year 4 Bumblebees and Dragonflies Spellings – Mrs Baker and Mrs Huston

This year, the children will be taught a new spelling root morpheme each week. They will, over the course of 3 lessons, add prefixes (such as de- , un- dis-) to the root word or a suffix (such as -ing, -d, -ed, -tion, -sion). For example, when the root morpheme is script, we can add -ing to make scribing, or add a prefix and suffix to make the word description. The children then add a bank of words and learn the spelling patterns.

In addition to this, they need to learn the high-frequency words at the bottom of this page as part of their homework.

Spelling tests will take place weekly using 5 keywords per week, adding up to 20 after week 4 then rotated. Lists will be sent home every Monday ready for a test on a Thursday.
