Spellings:
Use the powerpoint below with the children to explore the rules for adding prefixes and their meanings to root words. (Spellings prefixes powerpoint). Try practising spelling some of the words on slide 7. How has the prefix changed the meaning of the word? (Please don’t do them all…10 is plenty!)

- Click on year 3 and 4- rule 4 more prefixes
- Press ‘play’
