Good Morning!
Today we’re going to practise some spellings and our handwriting. We’re looking at words that end –dge. Has anyone got a good way of remembering how to spelling these words?
If you want some extra practise, click here to get to a website that has activities and games to help learn and practise how to spell these words.
It is always hard to remember if it is –de or –dge at the end.
Just remember, if it a long vowel sound or a consonant before the ‘j’ sound, then it is spelt –ge (e.g. cage, rage, large, change). If it is a short vowel sound before the ‘j’ sound, then it is –dge (e.g. ledge, fudge, bridge)
If you can have a go making the words with something different, take a photo and send it to me so I can post it on the blog!
Can you put these words into a sentence? Write your sentences on the blog.
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.
I have way more badges than you!
Be careful you don’t want to fall over the edge!

[*] We struggled to understand the instructions here, including how to attach a photo. We did do the Against the Clock game which is fun.
Well done for putting so many -dge words in one sentence.
Sorry if it was unclear, there were spelling words to learn and practise, and to put some of them in a sentence. There was also a handwriting activity to practise writing these words. I’m glad you enjoyed the games, you didn’t have to play them but I’m glad they were fun!
