In Year 5, we are having fun developing our reading skills by exploring the fantastic (if a little smelly!) story, Mr Stink. At the start of this week, while most of our crew were out for bikeability, we spent some time finding out about the new words we could find in our text. We used our reading around the text to make a sensible prediction about what the new word might mean and then we checked this by using a dictionary. Why not check in with us and find out what these words – such as: crestfallen, disdain, interject, ponder and loiter – mean.
