Pupils working solely on the core list are expected to:

• research at least another 3 personal words (errors) from previous weeks / or 3 words of your choice.
• Perhaps you need to improve the following:

1. sincerely
2. favourite
3. I             (NEVER ever spelt 'i' )

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).

Social Studies Research

As part of our Africa-Scotland comparison study, in class you have been researching an area of interest about Africa such as animals, culture, food, music, geography etc.

For homework this week, please research information about Scotland to compare to your African research (so if you looked at African food find out some interesting facts about Scottish food) and collect together as notes.

Remember to take a note of any books and websites used to be added to the bibliography.

Your notes will be written up in class so they are for your personal use: use whatever method suits you best e.g. bullet points, mind-map, key words/phrases.
