This week’s spelling activity has us making up words again and is due on Thursday 15 June.
We all know Roald Dahl’s wonderfully odd made-up words. Create a dictionary of eight words that we could try and use in class this half-term (obviously without offending anyone). Think about the most sensible way to spell them, how their meaning might link to their root words, how you could use Latin and Greek roots to create them and what word class they are.
Here’s my suggestion (and how you should lay your dictionary out):
stulty – (adjective) a bit stupid
Stultus is Latin for idiot which is what gave me the idea for the word and we could use it in class if somebody suggested a ‘stulty’ idea.
