Mrs Avdiu & Ms Robertson
Good morning everyone I hope you had a nice day yesterday.
*Theo is a very mischievous person, he never does what he is told.
*Jack hates to be interrupted during his leisure time unless it is absolutely necessary.
EXTENSION:
It was a marvellous day and Theo was enjoying his leisure time on his sun lounger. Joseph , his brother, was feeling mischievous and decided to interrupt him even though it was not necessary.
Great work, Theo. I know the first sentence is definitely made-up 😉
Good Morning Mrs Avdiu and Miss Robertson I have chosen to use the words interrupt and mischievous for my sentences.
A man kept interrupting my conversation whilst I was trying to talk to my friend.
My friend was very mischievous and always got into trouble.
Challenge:
That weird looking individual kept interrupting our leisure activity on that marvelous afternoon. I could not stand him, he kept interfering. Using a very polite and gentle language I tried to put a stop to his mischievous behavior. Unfortunately that did not work so I felt it was necessary to teach him a lesson and as quick as lightning I poked him with a pencil in his arm muscle.
Thank you Tommaso! I’m glad to see you used the word ‘interfering’ as it was one of the words we learnt in class 🙂 Do you remember?
Hi guys! Hope you’re ok. Here are my answers for today’s grammar.
1)Marvellous=means doing something extraordinary.
Synonyms:awesome, incredible, breathtaking, spectacular, remarkable.
2)Necessary=means something that needs to be achieved.
Synonyms:required, needful, essential, requisite, compulsory.
Sentences:
1)Tomorrow night, there will be ‘lightning’ striking so you might expect to hear thunder as well.
2)Learning ‘languages’ is a good idea because when you go to a different country, you would be able to communicate to them.
I hope you enjoyed reading my grammar answers today.
Stay safe everyone.?
Super work Renee! Do you think you could have a go at the challenge?
Hi everyone,
I enjoyed this task and hope that my paragraph is okay.
It was a silent day on the orchard, the marvellous apples were being picked off the great trees today. Two boys who were having a leisurely walk were spotted walking towards the orchard. Once the boys got closer it seemed like one had strained a muscle. The people working to pick the apples stopped and came over to assist the child. By the language the boys used it was sure they weren’t part of the wealthy families that lived around here. Soon the workers realised that they were talking to a individual boy. Like lightning the two boys rushed past the workers and back to where they came from. The boys weren’t being mischievous; they had to steal to survive, food is necessary.
I am glad you enjoyed it Honeko. Thank you! Thank you for your wonderful paragraph. Please check ‘a individual boy’. Should it be ‘an’?
Hi everybody, here are my sentences.
1. Too busy to notice, the (marvellous) inventor didn’t see the intruder who had come to (interfere) with his work.
2. Crouched behind a table covered in experiments, Marcus could feel his (muscles) tighten as he prepared to make a break for the exit.
Challenge:
“The key,”Pam told Jenny, ”is to only take what’s necessary and that way we won’t interfere with anyone else’s business.
“Yes, I suppose that’s right, but still I’d like to lead a life of leisure even if that means that we have to be mischievous,” interrupted Jenny. The two argued for a while until a flash of lightning filled the sky and thunder could be heard in the distance. They rushed from where they were sitting on the rooftop into the house below and sat down at the table for a mug of hot chocolate while the rain stopped.
Wow Zavan. That sounds like a passage from a real book. Well done!

INDIVIDUAL:
Something single or separate from everything else
surrounding it/she/he.
Yesterday I went to a MARVELLOUS hotel with

Hello. Now I’m going to have a go at the challenge.
Challenge:
When my dad took me to the leisure centre, I saw a mischievous individual who I think always wanted to interfere with people by scaring them with a fake lightning effect toy. So I tried to come up with a marvellous idea. I came up to him as part of my plan which is to interrupt him and then I started talking a different language. After that I started poking him on his arm muscle and of course he didn’t think it was at all necessary. When I left, he started not to interrupt people again, my plan worked!
Thank you for reading my challenge.
Thank you

As quick as lightning, the security guard dashed over to them and using firm but polite language he dealt with them and they were soon gone.

Hello everyone ?
This is my paragraph with today’s spelling words.
It was a beautiful sunny ☀️ morning when I decided to discover what was behind the big gates of my garden. As I opened the gate a marvellous meadow filled the open space. I stepped into a blanket of colourful flowers ?, and their sent overwhelmed me. There is just no language to describe how I felt at that moment. Butterflies and other insects were exploring the meadow at their leisure. I stood still, muscles tense as I didn’t want to interrupt their peaceful surrounding. Suddenly I heard my brother shouting with a mischievous look on his face. I guess my magical daydreaming was over.
I hope you enjoy the rest of your day.
Maia?
Hi Maia. I really felt like I was there reading this peaceful description of the marvellous meadow. I particularly liked the use of figurative language such as ‘blanket of colourful flowers’. Well done! Please could you check your spelling for ‘sent’?
Hi everyone here is what I done for the English task today.
Interrupt: means that you are speaking over someone’s conversation.
Leisure: means use of free time for enjoyment.
My baby brother is the most mischievous in my family.
My baby brother and my little sister are scared of lightning.
Challenge:
In my leisure time I either go to the park or play football. It was necessary to leave the park yesterday because of the marvellous yellow lightning in the black sky. My little brother was very mischievous at the park. When we came home I kept interrupting my mum and dad to ask them if can I have a snack.
Thank you Dylan for your efforts on the challenge! Could you revise your sentence about the lightning? You suggest that you left because it was terrifying but then referred to it as ‘marvellous’. This can be quite confusing for the reader 🙂
Hi Everyone.
Mischievous=Mischievous is when somebody is naughty and it’s funny at the same time.
Language=A language is something that people talk and sometimes other people can understand that language.
The very rude person who was standing under a gloomy, dark tree was about to be struck by a glowing, shrieking piece of lightning.
A marvellous person just entered the room ,people dropped everything and ran just to grab a view.

Slowly, the spy turned around and ran down the street, mischievous person’s black shoes clicking away. It was necessary for her to follow this ,so rudely had interrupted her.
Hi Sara. Thank you for your efforts on the challenge. Please can you proofread it as the punctuation needs checking. I would also recommend reading out loud as the last few sentences especially are quite confusing and do not make sense as sentences? Thank you Sara. Take care! 🙂
Hello everyone!?
Lucy was a marvellous but very mischievous girl. In the mornings, when the sun fills the flower beds with golden light, She liked to watch the bugs leisurely explore the blanket of colours. Only if there was a language that could understand what the bugs were saying, thought Lucy now and then. She normally wanted to stay up all evening listening to the sounds of thunder and lightning when the weather was bad. Sometimes she just wanted to cause mayhem by interfering with some other child’s business, but that would interrupt the peace in the boarding-school. It was necessary that every individual child must participate in some type sport to help their muscles grow strong.
Thank you and stay safe!?

Hello Yr 5!
I hope you’ve all had a good week.
Today I’m going to have a go at the spelling – extension challenge – and see how many spelling words (in order) I can fit into a paragraph, here goes….
I consider myself to be a polite individual, I don’t like to interrupt people during their valuable leisure time – I don’t think that’s fair. I must tell you – yesterday I had a marvellous day, although I did manage to pull a muscle whilst cycling on my bike to the bakery, I did hope that my strain wouldn’t interfere and impact too much on my day. The lady in the bakery was talking in a foreign language that I couldn’t understand however, I did manage to get some bread and cup-cakes. As I exited the shop, a car drove passed me at lightning speed, nearly knocking me off my feet! I feel I must also share with you that recently I have been rather mischievous – I’ve been eating far too many cup-cakes, and feel it necessary to go on a diet.
???????
Ms Robertson, I’m very impressed! Gold star for you!
Don’t worry too much about the cupcakes 🙂
⭐ Thank you Mrs Avdiu!
I’m trying not to worry too much about the cupcakes.
