Good Morning Year 2!

Well done for writing such interesting sentences using the different ‘happy’ words. Today we’re going to make sure you can spell them properly. You may want to decorate the words to show their meaning, to help you remember how to spell them.
Can you think of another word which uses the same suffixes? Write this word (and the ways it uses the suffix) in the comments below.
If you didn’t do the BBC Bitesize suffix lesson yesterday, then have a go doing it today. Let me know how you get on with the activities.
This website has games to practise some other words that use the –ful and –ness suffix. See if you can spot any rules you need to follow when adding suffixes. Can you write the rules below?
*If you want to practise any other spelling words, then please look at the Common Exception Words for Year 2: Y2 common exception words
When you’re practising your handwriting, remember to start and finish your letters in the right place, sit the letters on the line and remember which ones are tall and which ones hang below the line. There is a handwriting guide in your Home Learning Folders to help you if you need it. This BBC Bitesize page has helpful guides and videos to remind you how to form your letters correctly.
I can’t wait to see your work!

Woolly woollines woolier wooliest

Well done Luisa! I’m impressed you managed to find so many words ending in -y which used the different suffixes. Excellent work 🙂
Very neat handwriting Sophie! Well done 🙂

Well done Vincent! I’m impressed with how tall you made your ‘h’ for each word 🙂
Brilliant handwriting Jack! You’ve tried so hard to make the right letters tall or hang below – very impressive 🙂
I did two spelling games and they where fun.
I’m glad you enjoyed the games. I hope they helped you practise your spelling words 🙂
smelly smelliest smellier
sad sadder sadness saddest sadly
nasty nastily nastiness nastiest
kind kindest kindness kindly
Wonderful Rafael! You’ve managed to find so many words. Well done for trying hard with your handwriting 🙂
Yummy, yummier, yummiest, yummily, yumminess.
The two rules are that you drop the “e”, and drop the “y” and then you replace it with the “i”.
And we did the extra exercises.
Well done Finley! You’re right, when you add a suffix that starts with a vowel, you take away the -y and change it to an -i. 🙂

Brilliant Sophia! You’ve thought of so many different words that use suffixes.
Very good handwriting! Try to have a flick at the bottom of an i so that it can start to join to the next letter. 🙂
we use suffixes to turn a change a noun into a verb.
Well done Marisa. Sometimes it is a verb, but it can change them to something else. If we add -ly to the end, it often changes adjectives into adverbs!
Dear Miss,
The spellings weren’t that easy.
I liked the bitesize activity. I found out that wonderness is a word too. It means devoid of wonder, having no wonder. My mum looked it up in the dictionary.
She sent my writing in.
Well done Nadine, excellent writing. I’m glad the Bitesize activity was good. I didn’t know that, how interesting 🙂
