Pupils working solely on the core list are expected to:

• research at least another 3 words ending in 'ent' or 'ant'; try to choose challenging words to add to your list, or
• 3 personal words (errors) from previous weeks / or 3 words of your choice.

Remember if you spelt any words incorrectly, you will need to learn these so you can transfer them to your 'friendly' word list in your 'Helpful Spelling Jotter'

P7 Useful Word list
For those pupils working on Useful Words/Personal Spelling Words, they should learn words on the following list, which you have selected for your group.

In addition you should add 2 personal words that you want to learn (these could be based on errors from previous weeks).

Topic Work - Comparative Study - Scotland / Africa

To support our Africa study, we would like to construct an African hut. You need to sketch out a hut design and show on the design what materials you would use to make it; for example how would you make the walls and roof, how would you make the walls 'appear' to be made from mud. Remember, to try and use resources already in school and / or recycled material. Have a look at some African huts to get some ideas.
