WORDS OF THE WEEK

Hi 4 Leah, 

Each week I will put a selection of interesting words on this page to help you expand your vocabulary. I encourage ALL of you to find out what these words mean, and to use them in your writing throughout the year. There will also be many opportunities for you to contribute to this page, as I always love it when students find interesting words in their reading and want to share them with others. 

The ‘Words of the Week’ for the week starting on Monday 6th November are:

 ebullient AND metaphor

If you can tell me what either of these words mean (you could also send a comment on the blog with the meaning of the word), you will be entitled to 5 minutes of free time per word. Good luck! 😉

    I have chosen a word of the week and that is,
    Diminutive: Someone or something that’s small.

      Hi Finn,

      I love that you’re getting into the ‘Words of the Week’, and are checking out what’s happening during the week. I was impressed today that you knew what the topic for Big Write is going to be on Friday. Keep up your inquisitive nature (‘inquisitive’ – now there’s another word for you to find out what it means!). 😉 It’s great that the mums are learning too! Love it! 😉

    Dear Leah,
    I finally figured out how to write messages on the blog XD.
    Anyways I know what the word Cacophony means… Using a harsh
    sound. Oh there’s another thing, I was wondering if we can write
    two words of the week because I want to get more points.Wait
    one more thing can i have my maths homework book back I need
    more homework. I actually like homework. 🙂

  23. March 16th, 2016 at 9:25 am      Reply Johnny Soupionas Says:

    Dear Leah,
    I have also figured out what Aplomb means. It means… Aplomb
    means a poise or self possession.

    And one more thing how did you make that face 🙂 🙁 :'(


    • March 16th, 2016 at 10:37 am      Reply 56leah Says:

      Hi Johnny,

      It’s so great to have you writing on the blog! 😉 In answer to your question about that face, you’ve already made it – just check out the comment that I’ve just posted. 😉

      I won’t post your comments of the ‘Words of the Week’ definitions until Friday, but be assured that I’ve got them and they’re spot on! Well done! 🙂

      We’re going to be doing Daily 5 tomorrow and will be focusing on using punctuation phrasing and prosody. Sounds interesting, right? It just means that punctuation helps us include expression and add interest when we’re reading out loud. I’ll explain more tomorrow. We’ll also do some Word Work (practising your spelling words), Read to Self (focusing on your reading goal) and Read to Someone (focusing on phrasing and prosody). So much to do! 😉

      In Maths, we won’t be doing square roots yet, but I will make sure that we do them at some stage this year. If you already know what they are, you’ll be able to teach others, which will be fantastic. We’re going to continuing with vertical multiplication tomorrow.

      Looking forward to seeing you at school tomorrow,

      Leah 😉

  45. April 25th, 2016 at 1:47 am      Reply Audrey Says:

    Butyraceous means containing or resembling butter.

    Abode. I found 2 meanings for this
    1. A place in which one lives or one’s home. For example “When I go camping my abode is a tent.”
    2. Past tense of abide which means to put up with or comply with. For example
    She abode by the court’s ruling

    Exploit. I also found 2 meanings for this word
    1. A notable deed especially one that is heroic
    Captain Cook’s exploits in the pacific are well known.

    2. To take advantage of a person or situation as in
    The students might exploit the teacher’s absence by misbehaving.

    Here are some words I think might be good for words of the week:
    Dyslexia
    Moult
    Oscillate
    Ambulatory

      I love your suggestions, Louie! We’ll have one of your words for this week. The other two words will be used later on in the term. Great work! 😉

      Look forward to seeing you tomorrow,

    Camoflauge means disguising a space


    • May 15th, 2016 at 6:12 am      Reply 56leah Says:

      Great work, Johnny! 😉 I’m impressed that you’ve had a go at finding out what the word for last week means. However, I think you might be a bit confused about the actual definition. To camouflage something certainly means that it’s disguised, but it’s more to do with an object, person or animal, rather than a space. Don’t worry, you’ve still got points for your Table Team, as I’m very impressed that you had a really good go at telling me what it means.

      Leah 😉

      Hi Ethan,

      Thanks for writing a comment on the blog! 😉 It’s so great to hear from you! Yes, I can absolutely give you permission to add words to the extra ‘Words of the Week’ page. Stay tuned, as I’ll try and have it ready for you to do it by tomorrow.

      About your reading journal – if your dad is in Japan, I think that’s a valid reason for you not handing it in. I look forward to seeing it once your dad has arrived back in Australia.

      Look forward to seeing you tomorrow,

      You are spot on with your definition of photosynthesis!! Great work!! 😉 If you didn’t give your table team, 10 points already, make sure that you do it tomorrow, as we’ll be tallying up the total points to work out our end of term winner. 😉

      Thanks for suggesting ‘perspiration’, too. I won’t publish the comment yet, as some people may copy your definition. However, this will be one of our words for the first week back next term.
