Calling out to the Advanced and Intermediate Composition pupils, please see below for your Spelling Lists:
Advanced Composition
1. Hordes of shoppers thronged the shops.
2. exasperatedly
3. deafening
4. The moment of paralysis was shattered when...
5. wielding guns
6. descended into a madness of desperate chaos
7. pandemonium
8. plummet
Intermediate Composition
1. speeding
2. retrieve
3. accelerator pedal
4. ploughed down
5. The impact of the collision threw Jamie up into the air.
6. Crimson blood oozed from his wounds.
7. summoned
8. hospital
In Week 1, some pupils were caught unawares that although we usually post only 8 words/phrases/sentences in the Spelling exercise, there are actually 10 questions. The last two unseen questions are Bonus Questions and they are words/phrases/sentences that could be taken from the same composition or that are commonly used in compositions.
The idea being that using your short-term memory to memorise the Spelling vocabulary is good but it is even better to be fully attentive in class and incorporate the vocabulary into your long-term memory!
