Sorry for the delay in the year 5 homework being posted, we had some technical difficulties with our laptops on Friday.
Spellings
Please practise these spellings ready for your spelling test next week.
Use of the hyphen
Hyphens can be used to join a prefix to a root word, especially if the prefix ends in a vowel letter and the root word also begins with one. Compounds with these prefixes are sometimes (but not always) hyphenated to avoid doubling a vowel or tripling a consonant, and sometimes even to prevent initial misreading or mispronunciation.
- To avoid doubling a vowel: anti-administration (but cooperation)
- To avoid tripling a consonant: shell-like
- To prevent initial reading or mispronunciation: re-cover vs. recover (I will re-cover the sofa when I recover from the flu.)
co-ordinate
re-enter
co-operate
co-own
