EnglishThis week we will focus on improving our vocabulary and spelling. We are going to practise spelling certain words and begin using them in our own creative writing. occasionally specular completely heart superhuman accidently naughty miniature promise believe Activity One: Let’s create our own dictionary which includes our 10 new words. Some of these words might be new, so please check in a dictionary for the definitions but if you already know what the word means don’t search for it and create your own definition. Remember dictionaries are written in alphabetical order, can you do that?

Activity Two: Let’s practise the spellings of the new vocabulary. Please play spelling bingo with a partner. Each choose six of the words we are looking at this week. Then take it in turns to guess what your partner has chosen. You get one point for every word you guess correctly and another point for spelling it correctly. Keep a tally of the scores and tell me who wins!!

Activity Three: Can you now create an adventure story using the spellings we have focused on? Include the new vocabulary will boost your writing and make it extra exciting to read.

You could use one of these story starters to get you going or you could start it yourself.
