Vocabulary

This week we started our vocab as we need to expand our vocabulary to improve our writing. Every week students will be given a word they need to find the definition of, find the origin of the word, synonyms and antonyms, draw a picture representing the word and then finally use the word in a sentence. This week the word was 'Bungalow'. Most students returned with a sentence along the lines of, 'I live in a bungalow'. This uses the word correctly however doesn't paint much of a picture for the reader. This student below not only used the word correctly but told a story in one sentence - 'There is a silence outside our bungalow but from time to time the evening wind whispers gently to us'. I thought that was outstanding! A challenge to all students now - get your work on our blog!
