Good Morning Year 6! Wednesday already…
Today we’re going to practise some spellings and our handwriting. We’re looking at words from the Year 5 and 6 spelling list.
This website helps to learn how to spelling these words and has some games you can practise.
Have a look at the words below, practise writing them in your book and then, If you can, ask your sibling or parent to test you!
How many did you get right?
Challenge:
On the Blog, write a short paragraph including all of the words above. Plan your sentences first to ensure that they makes sense before publishing it!
When you’re practising your handwriting, remember to start and finish your letters in the right place, sit the letters on the line and remember which ones are tall and which ones hang below the line.
The Girl who Stole an Elephant -Nizrana Farook

What do you predict will happen next? Please comment below ?
Miss Gorick and Mrs Healy xx
Good morning!
I think that they will see Chaya and take her as a prisoner, and that somehow Nour will help save both Chaya and Neel.
Hmmm an interesting prediction!
That would be interesting!
Good Morning Miss Gorick and Mrs Healy,
I am really enjoying this book so far it is really exciting and you never know whats going to happen next!! I think that the guard will see her and he said before that he feels a bit sad for neel as he is so young and so I think he might let chaya get him out.
Morning Lola! I’m glad to hear that you are enjoying the book so far. I agree-there seem to be lots of twists and turns!
Hello everyone,
Here is my paragraph:
Your existence has been disastrous, especially the unexplainable things you’ve done. You’ve brought a dictionary to you without touching it and you equipped yourself without touching the clothes. However you do have an excellent talent.
I think after chapter 12 the guard will find Chaya and after Chaya will be caught but she will escape in the end.
Well done Jeanne! You have managed to include lots of the spellings whilst writing a paragraph that makes sense 🙂
Good morning Miss,
Here are my sentences :
The existence of a dictionary will equip us with excellent words especially adjectives .
“The environment is disastrous”,said Jack . “Don’t exaggerate” , said Tom.
Hi Javier! I like that you have used the words in direct speech ?
Good morning,
Here’s my paragraph:
It was disastrous without the existence of my equipment, especially without an excellent explanation. Although I can exaggerate, it was an embarrassment. My friend was studying through the dictionary and my other friend was helping the environment so I was hopeless.
A great effort Luke, well done!
Good morning,
Here is my paragraph:
Global warming can exaggerate especially when cars release carbon dioxide. This can also affect the existence of species.
My prediction:
My prediction is that the guards sat on the boulder will find Chaya and with their help,they will help get Neel out.
Well done Sergio! A great effort with the spellings and an interesting prediction…we will see!
That is what I was thinking for my prediction!
Great minds think alike!
I am really enjoying this book!!
I’m really pleased to hear that 🙂
Hello Miss Gorick,
I predict that Chaya will get caught by the guards and put in prison. Although I also think she will be able to get Neelan and herself out safely and probably run away. Or maybe as Chiara said, Nour could help.
That’s interesting to hear 🙂 I can’t wait to read on!
Good morning Miss Horick and Mrs Healy!
I am really enjoying this book! It has got a lot of adventure and mystery! (Miss could you please give me some book recommendations for creative writing as well ?)
Hi Jada! I’m glad that you’re enjoying this book. Yes of course, book recommendations and creative writing. I will do some research (and look through the resources I have) and get back to you this afternoon.
Hello,
Yesterday i made a disastrous speech and i think i exaggerated to much about the broken equipment.So today i decided to say the best speech in life existence:I will look in the dictionary for an explanation and excellent synonym for environment and i do not want to get laughed at,especially by the Queen!
Hi Jade! You have made a great effort-well done. Remember I not i!
Good morning all!
Here is my sentence:
The trip to the dentist was disastrous, the dentist only spoke French so we had to use a French dictionary to understand what he was saying and Sam wanted to embarrass himself by saying: “I want an explanation on why this man is equipped with the most deadly equipment ever!”
Well done Jada! Great effort and it is super to use direct speech.
Hi,
I think they might not see Chaya because she will camouflage into the tree and then she will enter the prison blow Neel’s prison cell up and possibly steal an elephant to run away.
What an interesting (and dramatic!) prediction 🙂
Here’s my paragraph,
I was reading a dictionary until my friend embarrassed me
I was going rock climbing so I chose the right equipment.
I exaggerated on how bad I was but turns out I wasn’t until something disastrous happened…
Well done Aryan, you have included the words effectively.
I think Chaya will be caught and Nour will seal the Elephant instead of Chaya.
Interesting prediction!
Here’s my paragraph:
Always be equipped with a dictionary ready for an excellent explanation in a debate and to avoid being embarrassed if the conversation becomes disastrous. In this newspaper, they especially exaggerate everything about existence and the environment.
My prediction is that Chaya will set Neel free but they will get caught by the guards. Eventually, they’ll escape which will lead to a thrilling adventure.
Well done Anahi! That is a great prediction and a super paragraph-you have managed to include all the words effectively.
Good Morning miss! Here are my sentences:
Global warming is a disastrous thing that harms the environment, and is jeopardising animals’ existence. It would be excellent if I was to exaggerate, but especially nowadays we have to create equipment to help save our Earth. You may have to look up a dictionary for an explanation of some of these words, but it would only embarrass you to think I had made a malapropism.
Well done Laeitita! You have used some very technical language!
Good morning Miss Gorick,
My prediction is that Chaya will throw the explosives at on of the walls for a distraction, then everyone will go to were the explosive exploded, and Chaya will save Neel.
My paragraph:
Jack was always doing exaggerate experiments, but today he is going to make a dictionary explode. It will probably be disastrous, but luckily he has excellent equipment to help him.
Any suggestions on what I can read?
Hi Gabriel 🙂 Interesting prediction and a great effort with the spellings!
Yes-I will do some research and get back to you after lunch 🙂
Hello Miss Gorick! I was just wondering, this is SATs week, so are we going to take our SATs online or something?
Hello Laetitia 🙂 It is a funny feeling thinking that this would have been SATs week. You will not take your SATs this year as the government thought it would be unfair as you haven’t been at school for a while.
I know that you all would’ve done brilliantly though!
I agree with Chiara,Chaya will get caught and Nour will recur them both!
Here is my sentence which used ALL the words from the sheet!:
The dictionary equipped an especially excellent explanation to existence,which embarrassed Einstein to exaggerate and make a disastrous environment!
Wow Ariella, I’m impressed!
Hello Miss!Here is my paragraph:
Everyone thought that there would be an excellent explanation as to why the environment was so disastrous but it never came.
Great effort-well done Timothy! It is lovely to hear from you.
Miss I think this was a great choice for a book????
I’m glad that you think that!
This is my sentence:
The dictionary is full of excellent words like embarrass, exaggerate, disastrous and existence.
Well done Haleema-that’s a clever way of including all the words!
This is my favourite book that you have chosen.
Thank you!?
You’re very welcome-I am so pleased to hear that you are enjoying the story!
Here is my paragraph;
The dictionary gives you all the excellent answers you need, especially the usborne dictionary. When you tell your siblings of in the shop you are planning to embarrass them in front of everyone.
Well done Elly-a great effort!
Here is my prediction;
I think that Chaya will get caught but Nour will come and help by stealing an elephant.
Thank you Elly-that is an interesting prediction 🙂
Hi everyone ?
I completed my English Grammar task ???????
Here is my paragraph
My brother’s work was especially excellent, I can’t exaggerate.We used a dictionary to help us with our work. I am not going to give a big explanation about everything.
Ps.I can’t believe we might meet again next month!!!!
Hi Maryana 🙂 Thank you for completing the task!
And fingers crossed…!
Hi Paloma 🙂 Thank you for sending in your English. I can see that you persevered with your spellings and you used the words effectively in your paragraph. Well done!
