A poem for you to think about:

 

No Wonder I Can’t Spell!

Learning the English Language

Is not something in which I excel.

When so many words sound the same

It’s no wonder that I can’t spell!

 

Just look at the words that follow

And I’m sure you will agree.

There’s might and mite, and blew and blue

And flour and flower – do you see?

 

Which ‘to’ should I use in a sentence

When there’s three different kinds to choose?

And three different ‘so’s and two different ‘dough’s;

Do you think it is done to confuse?

 

Well I think it is time that we changed it

To help other people like me.

Then I can stop worrying about spelling

Oh how wonderful that would be! (or is it bee?)

I hope that you have a good holiday and that you enjoy doing your holiday homework.

Please come back to school full of enthusiasm and ready for an exciting year.
