Investigating the PYP Learner Profile
Each week we are investigating one of the PYP Learner Profile words.
 |
| We are investigating the history of the word <caring> and discovered that it used to mean "to grieve, to cry"! Its meaning has changed over time. |
 |
| We analysed the word and constructed the word sum to show the spelling. care/ + ing --> caring |
 |
| We identified other words that belonged int he same word family care + ful --> careful. We noticed in this word that the final <e> was not replaced! |
 |
| We constructed a large chart to show our investigation of the word <caring>. Now we have a better udnerstanding of what it means and how it is spelled. Spelling is a THINKING activity not a memorisation activity! |
