WALT Know what different words mean

WALT Know what different words mean Reading Goal - Term 2 What’s my goal? Know what different words mean What have I learned? That if you try hard enough to do research you can find heaps of words that mean the same thing How to think of different words to replace other words e.g. words to use instead of said The first is the word we were given and the second word was the word that I came up with that means the same thing.     1. Replied - responded       2. Fairy - Pixie     3. Announcement - speech     4. Vanished - disappeared     5. Spinning - turning     6. Clumsy - Helpless     7. Demanded - yelled     8. Disappear - vanished     9. Happily - merrily     10. Frightened - scared I found this easy because I know lots of different words and what they mean. What is my next learning step?

We are learning to use directions. We can do this when we can give and follow directions using the points of a compass - North, South East and West. Room 2 went outside and did a treasure hunt in pairs. One person hid the treasure. They then had to give their partner instructions to find it. E.g 2 steps north... It was a fun way to practice what we had been learning in class. Our next learning step is to identify and use other directions such as north-east, south-west etc.
