Challenge Corner
Are you up for a word challenge? Each week, myself or Mr Chin will post a word challenge or activity for you to have a go at. Use your skills to try and work it out. Take a photo of you doing it in your purple book and send it in to us. They are just a bit of fun. Try your best and a go! 👍🏼😃
Mr Cross
It is a word challenge today.
Word Ladders!
How long can you make your ladder? Remember your words need to be at least 5 letters long! The aim of the task is to make a list of words where the last letter of each word, forms the beginning letter that your next word must start with. For example;
beetle
energy
yellow
wobble........
Extension: Can you think of works with 6/7/8/9 letters?
For today's challenge you must see how many words you can find that have your word within it. Your word is 'ate'.
Example - mate, late, grate.....
The person with the most words gets 20 house points.
Extension - Can you use each one in a sentence to show you understand the meaning?
To help you get started, here are a few examples that you could use; rate, hate, plate, grate, calculate, participate, catering, captivate, liberate, emancipate.
Once upon a picture (see link above) - for all you budding writers out there and those who enjoy creative writing, use these images or 'The Collections' to have a go at being creative! All you need is the image (on a phone, tablet or computer - no need to print out), something to write with and something to write on.
You may like to write a whole story, a beginning of a story or just an ending. You may even like to create a set of instructions using the images as a starting point. Give it a go and see how you get on.
Book reviews of your favourite book(s) - write a comprehensive book review using your own ideas. You might like to think about including:
How about creating a diorama of your favourite book or a scene from your favourite story just like these below. Have a look at these for inspiration.
