Pupils working solely on the core list are expected to:

• research another 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 - words starting with S.

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

Language

Ask your parents if they have a funny story they can tell you about something that you did when you were younger.

If they can't think of a funny or strange thing that happened to you then have they got a story about someone else in the family? The story could be about something that happened to them when they were younger.

Ask them questions about the story so that you know as much about it as possible.

Write the story down, in as much detail as you can, and bring your work into school.

This should be a short story, approximately half an A4 page. No more than one A4 page.
