In English, Miss H has been teaching us about homophones. These are words that sound the same, but have different spelling and different meanings. Understanding homophones can help us with our spelling! Some of the examples we've been learning about are:
hear - I can hear a noise.
here - Come over here, please.
two - I have two pencils.
to - I'm going to the supermarket.
too - I'd like an apple too.
there - Look over there!
their - That is their dog.
they're - They're going to the movies.
right - The car turned right at the lights.
write - I need to write a shopping list.
which - I wonder which one he will choose.
witch - Jane dressed up as a witch for the concert.
Here's a homophones quiz, where we can test our knowledge!

Hello Smarties and Mrs N
ReplyDeleteYou have got a great blog and I have spent ages looking around. My class and I have just started our blog. We are still learning all about it. I hope one day it will be as interesting as yours.
We are also in Perth.
Keep up the great work.
Mrs Lannin and her Year 1's.
Dear Smarties and Mrs N,
ReplyDeleteI really enjoy visiting your class blog. I have been telling other teachers who are learning how to use technology in the classroom all about your blog. You give them lots of great ideas of how they can blog with their classes too! Keep up the great work!
