P7 - Week Beginning 29 Nov 2010

Snowy Buckstone
Enjoy the snow - but remember to take advantage of the day and get started with your homework and then you can enjoy the snow during the week.

P7H can always log on to GLOW and look at the work on 'Journey to the Centre of the Earth' and discover what makes up Earth's structure.

 Literacy

Reading
Ongoing reading throughout the week, following the plan agreed by each Literature Circle Group. Remember to capture notes in your jotter in support of your allocated role; word wizard, summariser, character analyser, question writer or illustrator.

Spelling
Learn Spelling Words for Thursday.

Words this week are based on words with a prefix, which create an opposite word. These may be found at:

http://www.spellingcity.com/view-spelling-list.html?listId=4287476

The list has 28 words, you will only be tested on 14 words, the words with the prefix, but during the weekly test you will be given the word without the prefix, you will need to decide what prefix to use.

Note - Spelling City is using a capital 'M' for Mobile - this is the proper noun for a city in the USA. You should use a lower-case 'm' - mobile.

For those pupils working on tricky personal spelling words, they should learn words 1 to 7 from the above list and the 7 words on the following list, which you have selected for your group.
