Important update from TheSchoolRun
For the past 13 years, TheSchoolRun has been run by a small team of mums working from home, dedicated to providing quality educational resources to primary school parents. Unfortunately, rising supplier costs and falling revenue have made it impossible for us to continue operating, and we’ve had to make the difficult decision to close. The good news: We’ve arranged for another educational provider to take over many of our resources. These will be hosted on a new portal, where the content will be updated and expanded to support your child’s learning.
What this means for subscribers:
- Your subscription is still active, and for now, you can keep using the website as normal — just log in with your usual details to access all our articles and resources*.
- In a few months, all resources will move to the new portal. You’ll continue to have access there until your subscription ends. We’ll send you full details nearer the time.
- As a thank you for your support, we’ll also be sending you 16 primary school eBooks (worth £108.84) to download and keep.
A few changes to be aware of:
- The Learning Journey weekly email has ended, but your child’s plan will still be updated on your dashboard each Monday. Just log in to see the recommended worksheets.
- The 11+ weekly emails have now ended. We sent you all the remaining emails in the series at the end of March — please check your inbox (and spam folder) if you haven’t seen them. You can also follow the full programme here: 11+ Learning Journey.
If you have any questions, please contact us at [email protected]. Thank you for being part of our journey it’s been a privilege to support your family’s learning.
*If you need to reset your password, it will still work as usual. Please check your spam folder if the reset email doesn’t appear in your inbox.

Spelling patterns: doubling a letter and adding -ed / -ing

Read this passage aloud, then write down each coloured word. Check the words and then learn to spell any you get wrong.

Spelling patterns: the suffix -ful
We use the suffix -ful to make adjectives, but watch out – although the word ‘full’ has been put on the end of ‘hope’, the last l is dropped. Can you complete this table to show how words are changed by adding the suffix-ful? Then find all the words ending -ful above in this wordsearch.
Adding -ves to form the plural
Can you complete this fun mini-crossword with the plurals of these words? Be careful though – you can't just add -s to these words like you normally would to make a word plural.
Adding -s and -es to form the plural
When something is singular, there is one of it. When something is plural there are two or more of it. Usually, we just put an -s on the end of a word to show it is plural. But to make some words plural we need to add -es to the singular word. Can you complete these sentences using the words above in their plural form?
Matching words: the suffix -ness
Can you cut out the -ness words and some sentences which define them and match them up correctly?

Their or there?
The two different ways of spelling this word are for two different meanings. If you’re talking about the place there it’s THERE. If it’s something belonging to someone (e.g. their house) it’s THEIR. Remember the difference by thinking there has the word 'here' in it. See if you can put the correct spelling of their/ there into these sentences.
