Telling Our Own Story

Over the past three weeks, the 5Stars have been learning about words, and how to choose the best ones to help describe a small item. This amazing learning adventure was courtesy of School Kit and Warehouse Stationery.

With a partner, the 5Stars had to complete a thinking sheet about their small item.  It might have been a small teddy bear, dinosaur, chess piece or even a small ship in a bottle!  Along the learning journey, we learned how useful a thesaurus is to provide us with more words when we have exhausted our own word list.  We also learned that not every word in the thesaurus is suitable for the way that we wish to use it!  The 5Stars also learned that an 'anagram' is what happens if they jumble up the letters in a word. This resulted in some very interesting words.
