ReplyDeleteWell done Hamish. Great to see you building up your work bank. Try to use this word in as many ways as you can this week. If you can use it correctly in your writing you are 'permitted' to come and get a sticker from me.
ReplyDeleteI learnt that the word "excellent" is the same as the word "awesome" and "different" is the same as "not the same". I also learnt that the word "difficult" is the same as "too hard" and the name "soccer" can also be called "football".
ReplyDeleteWow Matthew. I'm really impressed. Would love to see these being used in your writing. Keep up the great detective word work!
DeleteI learnt the word similarities, I learnt this when mum and I were talking about the homework for the integrated unit. It means things that have things in common. Synonym is connection or look-alike.
ReplyDeleteGreat work Brock. Look forward to finding out what you found had similarities from the past to the present.
DeleteI lernt the word Encourage means to give someone support. I Looked up this word because I got an sports award for encouraging others.
ReplyDeleteWhat I learnt is that shipwrecked is the same thing as a broken down ship that has been tumbled over a wave.Also I learnt that a dictionary is for a meaning of the word you are looking at and a thesaurus is the same word you talking about but in different letters. Thank You
