Did you know there are often new and interesting words added to the Oxford English Dictionary? For one of your 'work on words' activities for this fortnight you will be expanding your vocabulary with some new, and definitely some interesting words. On the ThingLink below you will see a wordle of a range of words found in the dictionary, some you have probably never heard of before! But that is about to change! You will need to hover over the words and click on the red bullseye to have a go at predicting what you think the word might mean on the poll. Once you have done this you can click on the green icon which will reveal the real meaning of the word. This is a trust process.....this means that I trust that you will have a go at completing the activity properly before you check your understanding. Once you have completed this process with all of the words you will need to choose 5 of them to put into sentences of your own (in your English books).
Have you ever heard of any of these words before?
