Get your instructor to take you up into a significant cloud. Several times. Do a 180 inside it and come out level again. It may not be in the PPL skill test but is worthwhile not to be doing it the first time untrained.

The V part of VFR also applies. Mr WHBM Senior, on the ground at his RAF base in WW2, witnessed two aircraft in the loose circuit enter a cloud from opposing directions. Loss of two full crews. He remembered it for the rest of his life, and after he told me, I will do so too.
