Thanking the soldier sincerely for his efforts, the General strode off and commanded his secretary to write a letter to the Prime Minister suggesting the soldier, John, get a medal as a symbol of his personal sacrifice and heroic actions. Hoping it was sufficient enough to convey his gratitude.

She marched back to the encampment where she would have to stomach another horrible meal and sleep with only a itchy woolen blanket for shelter from the glacial winds coming off the icy mountains.

Dearest Tom Marvolo Riddle,
‘Tis me, Dumbledore. I am very sorrow that I am not accepting you to teach at Hogwarts. I do suggest that you find a different place to work. I have a reason not to accept you. I have seen what you are up to, I have seen the symbol that your army puts up. The Death Eater Mark. When you came to me, that gloomy evening, you were pale, I was wondering if you have eaten. Have you? You were thin and white, and I think that it would be best that you get some food into that stomach of yours. I have seen the terrible crimes that you have done. It’s enough!
I sacrifice my time by writing you this letter, as I know that you do not understand me.
As I was saying, you can find a different job, you could possibly work as a secretary in the bank. You can even work at the Ministry. It has been taking me a long time to write this, my hand hurts, so does my shoulder which I have badly injured.
Your sincerely,
Albus Dumbledore
(Signed with signature.)

Hello Nika, A fabulous effort with all the definitions. The work you have done is more than sufficient! I really like the Harry Potter theme-you have been very creative.
My shoulder and stomach hurt a lot from all of Joe Wicks’ Hiit sessions. I sincerely suggest that you should only do one Hiit session a day and do stretches after every one. Joe has raised over £250,000 for the NHS and this figure is a symbol of his hard work.
I have included some of the words in this paragraph but it is still real advice. Do not do more than one Hiit workout a day because it lowers you immune system!
I hope you enjoyed my paragraph!?

I am a secretary in an office, I go there 24 7 and it is tiring. I can’t get coffee because it’s really bad and gives me an awful stomach ache. Sometimes I get so tense because of the soldiers next door are screaming left right, left right ( My work is next to Buckingham Palace.) Then my shoulder starts aching for no reason at all. To sum it up, my life is terrible!
~Iggy
Hi Iggy,

This is my paragraph:
A man was prepared to sacrifice his life to become a soldier. An early morning, when he was awakening, he heard persons knocking at everyone’s door. Unknowing what was happening, the young man was going at his window, when his stomach started to gargoyle! So, as fast as possible, he went in his dining room to get a delightful breakfast. The men were here for a war! All the men needed to do their signature on an, old dust, yellow paper. Ten days later, soldiers arrived in France. The young man started to get frightened. The day J was arriving!!!!! ☹A bright Sunday, the young man got a friend, who was also scared, but the next day it was the day J !!! ☹ The day past very fast. When the young waked up, he followed the others to get protection. In the horrible war the young man got shot in the shoulder!
Hello Violette, Thanks for your paragraph suing lots of the spelling words but what a sad ending!

Good morning Miss Coleman and Miss Carruthers, I wrote two paragraphs. I hope that is ok.
School had finished and Frank was walking home with his friends. As they passed by the old sweet shop, Sam noticed a symbol on the wall that he was sure hadn’t been there a minute ago, but he ignored it. A few blocks down, he saw one again, and this time, he called Frank and Hiro over to help decipher it. When they got back to the sweet shop, Hiro suggested that the symbols were hieroglyphs and, at the bottom, there was a signature. They all agreed, and Sam even remembered that his history book in his bag showed how to translate hieroglyphs. Eagerly, they opened it, but when Frank started tracing the symbols, he felt a weird feeling in his stomach and told the others. They sat down and started to help him, but it was no use, the pain grew worse and worse, until finally, with a flash of blue light, the world spun into darkness…
Frank woke up to hear voices muttering around him, “I think we have enough to sustain us for a few days but after that we’ll need to find or buy some more food.” “ That’s right. I think we we’re in Egypt, Ancient Egypt, so we will also need some of that food for sacrifice or the locals will kill us.” It was then that Frank realised that when he had touched the hieroglyphs, he, Sam and Hiro had been magically transported to Ancient Egypt. “Quick, a soldier is coming, hide!” called Sam’s voice, and they all ducked under a wooden table. The soldier entered the room and the friends could hear the soldier talking to someone else, “I sincerely hope that you stay secretary to the pharaoh, but you won’t be able to if you keep this up.“ “ Trust me. It’s going to work,” the other person replied. “Fine, if you think it will, then be it your way but I’m not sticking up for you, you know.” and without another word they left.
Good afternoon Zavan, Thanks you for writing two paragraphs-that is definitely okay and they are brilliant. I really enjoy reading your writing.
Hello Miss Carruthers and Miss Coleman,
Here is my English for today, where all of the words in capitals are the words that we are meant to use. My paragraph is a diary entry.
Today the SECRETARY of State wrote a letter to everyone in the country and he even signed it SINCERELY with his own SIGNATURE! He wanted to thank NHS staff who have made amazing SACRIFICES and families who have painted rainbows on their houses to spread the SYMBOL of hope. He promises he will find a way to secure a SUFFICIENT amount of P.P.E (he SUGGESTED that we could buy some from neighbouring countries.) He said we all must SOLDIER. He added thanks to the doctors who treated the Prime Minsters bad STOMACH and SHOULDER when he was in hospital last week.
Hello everyone this is what I did for the challenge.
My great grandad, who was a soldier during the Second World War, served as a R A F pilot. He was prepared to sacrifice his life for the freedom of his country. He told me interesting stories about him flying in the nights. Although it was nerve – wracking he felt butterflies in his stomach because he loved flying. On his 100th birthday he received a letter from the Queen with her signature, congratulating him on his long achievements. He was very proud of it and took it as a sincere symbol of appreciation. I suggested to be his secretary and share his extraordinary strong life with everyone.
I hope you enjoyed reading my paragraph about my wonderful great grandad.
Have the loveliest of lovely days ever.
Maia?
Hello Maia,

Hello everyone,
I did the spellings and here is my paragraph (it uses all of the words) :
The Queen’s Private Secretary wrote a letter to a highly ranked soldier. It was handwritten and signed ‘Yours Sincerely’ with his signature at the bottom.
The letter covered the following points:
1) If we were to head into battle now, do we have enough weapons?
2) It also suggested for the army to train some more men to join the troop.
3) The Queen wanted to thank all the soldiers for their sacrifice at a ceremony at Buckingham Palace.
4) The Queen would like to reward Sergeant Durrell with a medal as a symbol of his bravery in battle. She was amazed to hear that despite being shot in the shoulder and stomach he had carried on fighting.

Hello Miss Carruthers and Miss Coleman,
Hello year 5!
Here is my paragraph:
David left his home early that morning. He glanced over his shoulder, knowing he was probably never going to see his house again. David was making a great sacrifice for the planet Spacetime. Recently, Shadow Guards had been fighting off attacks from Alienroam, creating a kind of war. Now, they needed soldiers and David had volunteered to become one. Sincerely, he would have preferred to work as a patroller like his father. However, his friends had been so insistant that he finally gave in. His mother had suggested that he stayed at home, but David wanted to do something useful in life. When he arrived to the Job Listing building, the young man’s stomach lurched. He opened the door and a secretary greeted him. Four panels showed different directions; David followed the one saying “Soldiers”. He ran up a flight of stairs and entered a square room. A lady handed him a sheet of paper and told him “Write your signature here please. That will be sufficient”. The future soldier did what he was told and then noticed a grey symbol next to the date: a man dragging a heavy ball attached to his foot. David grew suspicious but didn’t say a thing… The woman walked to a small office and David knew his life would change for ever.
Hello Jeanne!
What a wonderful paragraph using all your spelling words. I really like some of your other vocabulary choices, like insistent and lurched, and you added a lots of suspense. I’d love to know what happens next!
