A Writing Root for Granny Came Here on the Empire Windrush

Overview:

This is a three-session spelling seed for the book Granny Came Here on the Empire Windrush by Patrice Lawrence.  Below is the coverage from Appendix 1 of the National Curriculum 2014.

Spelling Seeds have been designed to complement Writing Roots by providing weekly, contextualised sequences of sessions for the teaching of spelling that include open-ended investigations and opportunities to practise and apply within meaningful and purposeful contexts, linked (where relevant) to other areas of the curriculum and a suggestion of how to extend the investigation into home learning.

There is a Spelling Seed session for every week of the associated Writing Root.

Coverage:

ordinary, earth, surprise, peculiar, experience, accidentally, exercise, grammar, group, history, heart
