Hello to Class 2 at Surlingham Primary School.
We are going to include lots of interesting words in your story. To help with this, please will everyone in Class 2 collect words that they like.
Maybe the word sounds fun, like buzz.
Or it could be interesting, like pyramid.
Or perhaps it’s really long, like wheelbarrow.
Or maybe you just like the word and don’t know why - it doesn’t matter.
Words aren’t just about reading and writing. LISTEN to the words being used all around you. Listen to your friends, family, television, songs, teachers... Everyone. Then when you hear a word you like, write it down (or ask someone to write it for you). If you each collect at least 5 words on your own sheet of paper, we’ll then look at those words when I next visit.
By the way, don’t forget to listen extra hard if you’re being read a story because stories are full of good words. Though you might also find a good word somewhere strange, such as on a bottle of juice or shampoo. Words are everywhere - happy hunting!
See you soon, Paeony
