Good Morning!

Today we’re going to practise some spellings and our handwriting. We’re looking at
words from the Year 5 and 6 spelling here-I’m sure that you’re missing that!

This website helps to learn how to spelling these words and has some games you
can practise.

Have a look at the words below, practise writing them in your book and then, If you
can, ask your sibling or parent to test you!

How many did you get right?

Challenge:
On the Blog, write 1 sentence using as many of the words that you can! Plan your
sentence first to ensure that it makes sense before publishing it!

When you’re practising your handwriting, remember to start and finish your letters in
the right place, sit the letters on the line and remember which ones are tall and which
ones hang below the line.

  1. Jeanne Yr 6 says:

    Hello Everyone,
    Here is my sentence:
    It was on my conscience that I could not find any average or even available cemetery for the community.
    Do you have any tips for my sentence?
    Thank you Miss Gorick for picking The Girl who Stole an Elephant. It is a very interesting book.

  2. Miss Gorick says:

    Thank you Jeanne and I’m glad that you’re enjoying the book! Looking at your sentence, I think the use of the word ‘average’ is a little confusing.

  3. Jeanne Yr 6 says:

    I think in the next chapter Chaya will find Nour and make her give the jewels.Then Nour will tell her that to not be given in she must steal a elephant.Then the next part is the quest for the elephant.

  4. Miss Gorick says:

    Good prediction!

  5. Hello everyone,
    here is my sentence :
    I was kicked out of the community committee for my lack of communication at the competition.

  6. Miss Gorick says:

    Great use of lots of the words-well done!

  7. G’day people, here is my sentence:

    It was an average day; I wasn’t available for anything and I of course had a new bruise, from being around the cemetery, which is the normal place you could find me, far away from community, and anyone who’s looking for a competition, the people I’d rather not see, which will also save me from an awkward excuse, as well as keeping me away from there constant bargain, constant because I mostly refuse to communicate.

  8. Miss Gorick says:

    Amazing effort Ethan! Do you think this sentence is slightly too long though?

  9. Hi Miss! Here is my sentence:
    I was in a committee that worked in the cemetery, far from the big community and while working I got an average bruise because I fell into an available grave and I climbed back up because my conscience told me to communicate and ask for help.

  10. Miss Gorick says:

    Super effort Charles! Like Ethan, do you think this is slightly too long?

  11. The competition was available for the community committee ,sold close to the cemetery the tickets were a bargain for a below average price that would not bruise your wallet .

  12. Miss Gorick says:

    Great effort! Just check for missing punctuation 🙂

  13. Good morning,
    My sentence is:
    At the community bake sale, all categories of food were a bargain and although it was a competition and the committee was there, my conscience told me not to get the available food.

  14. Miss Carruthers says:

    Wow Year 6! You’ve had to be quite creative to come up with a sentence using all of these words!

  15. Elly (●'◡'●) says:

    Good Morning Miss Gorick and Mrs Healy,
    My sentence:
    After the restaurant closed all categories of food were left on bargain, My conscience told me that I was quite hungry so I got the available food.

  16. Miss Gorick says:

    Great effort Elly! Just check for punctuation errors.

  17. Good morning!
    I think that Chaya will go back to the villa, and try to find the jewels, but gets caught int he process by Nour. Then Nour says that in order to get back the jewels, she must complete an extremely difficult challenge.

  18. Miss Gorick says:

    Interesting prediction ? we will see!

  19. Elly (●'◡'●) says:

    I think that Chaya is going to get into trouble with Nour and her dad and Nour will keep the jewels all for herself

  20. Miss Gorick says:

    Interesting prediction ? i have a feeling that she may get in trouble too!

  21. Hia everyone hope you’re having a good day so far,
    My sentence:
    It was an awkward day today; I wasn’t available to communicate with anyone, though I got time to visit the cemetery, gain a new bruise, enter a competition which I did average at but still not talk to anybody in the community committee, my conscience stopped me I don’t know why…

    I think in the upcoming chapters Chaya will try and make Nour give the jewels back and then she will have to steal an elephant so her family can be safe as she carries the jewels somewhere else were nobody will harm her.

  22. Miss Gorick says:

    Thanks so much for commenting Jade 🙂 A great effort with your sentence! It may be slightly too long though…I ran out of breath!

    as the COMMUNITY tried to BARGAIN with pharmacists to get the medicine in the right CATEGORY for me.

  50. My sentence
    It was a awkward competition I didn’t communicate with anyone and I was in the second category.The average age in second category is 8 year old though I was twelve.

  51. Miss Gorick says:

    Thanks Maryana ? remember it should be ‘an amazing’ not ‘a amazing’

  52. Mrs Healy says:

    Good morning year 6 great sentences.

  53. My sentence:

    The community disliked the committee, in the unbearable awkwardness, a bargain was put up.

  54. Miss Gorick says:

    A good use of an embedded clause ?

  55. I think Nour might be a thief to and they might have a competition who steal most or hardest thing to steal to win the jewels.

  56. Miss Gorick says:

    The community was holding a competition that of which had a great prize available to win.
    I think Chaya will go and confront Nour and then they decide that if Chaya can get Nour an elephant she will give the jewels back.

  58. Miss Gorick says:

    A good prediction!

  59. Paloma yr6 says:

    Hi Miss Gorick,
    Did you recive my work send through the uploding tool?
    Stay safe 🙂

  60. Miss Gorick says:

    I did thank you Paloma! I was so impressed as it is clear that you have been working hard! Keep it up ?

  61. Hi Miss, in my spare time, I improved mine and added all the other words, here it is! (Remember to take a deep breath before!):

    It was an average day below the sun; the boy wasn’t available for anything and as usual had a brown bruise on his knee, from being around the cemetery, where he would bang his knee on stones a lot, and where he’d normally be found — where he was far far away from the community and the committee of ‘challengers’ who were always looking for competition, so he’d gladly stay at the cemetery then face their constant bargain, constant because he’d refuse to communicate, and he did what he called ‘shutting down his conscience’, and fell into a category of peace.

    Also, here is my prediction for the next chapter of The Girl Who Stole an Elephant. I think that Nour is going report Chaya for stealing the jewels, and the jewels will be returned to the Queen, then the search for Chaya will begin and everyone she knows will be in danger, including her dad.

    Byyyyyyyyeeeeeeeeee ???????????????
