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!

  1. 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.

  2. Miss Gorick says:

    Hmmm an interesting prediction!

  3. That would be interesting!

  4. 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.

  5. Miss Gorick says:

    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!

  6. Jeanne Yr 6 says:

    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.

  7. Miss Gorick says:

    Well done Jeanne! You have managed to include lots of the spellings whilst writing a paragraph that makes sense 🙂

  8. 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.

  9. Miss Gorick says:

    Hi Javier! I like that you have used the words in direct speech ?

  10. 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.

  11. Miss Gorick says:

    A great effort Luke, well done!

  12. Sergio ;) says:

    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.

  13. Miss Gorick says:

    Well done Sergio! A great effort with the spellings and an interesting prediction…we will see!

  14. That is what I was thinking for my prediction!

  15. Miss Gorick says:

    Great minds think alike!

  16. Sergio ;) says:

    I am really enjoying this book!!

  17. Miss Gorick says:

    I’m really pleased to hear that 🙂

  18. 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.

  19. Miss Gorick says:

    That’s interesting to hear 🙂 I can’t wait to read on!

  20. 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 ?)

  21. Miss Gorick says:

    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.

  22. 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!

  23. Miss Gorick says:

    Hi Jade! You have made a great effort-well done. Remember I not i!

  24. 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!”

  25. Miss Gorick says:

    Well done Jada! Great effort and it is super to use direct speech.

  26. 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.

  27. Miss Gorick says:

    What an interesting (and dramatic!) prediction 🙂

  28. Aryan :D says:

    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…

  29. Miss Gorick says:

    Well done Aryan, you have included the words effectively.

  30. I think Chaya will be caught and Nour will seal the Elephant instead of Chaya.

  31. Miss Gorick says:

    Interesting prediction!

  32. 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.

  33. Miss Gorick says:

    Well done Anahi! That is a great prediction and a super paragraph-you have managed to include all the words effectively.

  34. Laetitia says:

    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.

  35. Miss Gorick says:

    Well done Laeitita! You have used some very technical language!

  36. gabriel:p says:

    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?

  37. Miss Gorick says:

    Hi Gabriel 🙂 Interesting prediction and a great effort with the spellings!
    Yes-I will do some research and get back to you after lunch 🙂

  38. Laetitia says:

    Hello Miss Gorick! I was just wondering, this is SATs week, so are we going to take our SATs online or something?

  39. Miss Gorick says:

    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!

  40. I agree with Chiara,Chaya will get caught and Nour will recur them both!

  41. 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!

  42. Miss Gorick says:

    Wow Ariella, I’m impressed!

  43. ?‍?Timothy?‍?????? says:

    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.

  44. Miss Gorick says:

    Great effort-well done Timothy! It is lovely to hear from you.

  45. ?‍?Timothy?‍?????? says:

    Miss I think this was a great choice for a book????

  46. Miss Gorick says:

    I’m glad that you think that!

  47. ♡ Haleema ♡ says:

    This is my sentence:
    The dictionary is full of excellent words like embarrass, exaggerate, disastrous and existence.

  48. Miss Gorick says:

    Well done Haleema-that’s a clever way of including all the words!

  49. This is my favourite book that you have chosen.
    Thank you!?

  50. Miss Gorick says:

    You’re very welcome-I am so pleased to hear that you are enjoying the story!

  51. Elly(●'◡'●) says:

    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.

  52. Miss Gorick says:

    Well done Elly-a great effort!

  53. Elly(●'◡'●) says:

    Here is my prediction;
    I think that Chaya will get caught but Nour will come and help by stealing an elephant.

  54. Miss Gorick says:

    Thank you Elly-that is an interesting prediction 🙂

  55. ?Maryana? says:

    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.

  56. Miss Gorick says:
