Spelling
This week the spelling pattern is using the suffix ‘ily’ to create adverbs. The rule is if a word ends in a y and you want to turn it into an adverb you drop the y and then add on ‘ily’. So happy becomes happily.
Core words
easily, lazily, angrily, happily, luckily, wearily
Mild words
clumsily, noisily, speedily, prettily
Hot words
hungrily, heavily, merrily, steadily
Maths and Numeracy
