Sub Prefix Word Wall and Paragraph

Today LS2 has been learning to understand the Sub Prefix. Sub means to go under or below. In groups of 4, we created a word wall. The word wall above shows a variety of different words that start with Sub. The words all have the meaning of under or below in it somewhere. After completing the word wall, we then started to write a paragraph using 8 or more of the sub words from our word wall. We have also underlined the sub words and made them bold to make it easier to notice.

Word Wall - Un Words


This is a google drawing which is a word wall that consists of words starting with 'un'.  I have used a dictionary to find the words. I have also tried to choose words that are complex and interesting. 

Spell Zone - Un words


This is a game I have played on a site called 'Spell Zone'. The aim of this game was to help me spell out words that start with 'un'. The game gives you a sentence which has the word 'un' in it. Your goal is to spell out the word that you hear. I scored 290 points. The highest score that you can get is 292.

Spell Zone - Against the clock


This is a screenshot of a Spelling game called 'Against the clock' on a site named 'Spell Zone' that I have been practicing to play. It helps me with my vocabulary and to chunk difficult words into smaller parts. I had to spell out 8 words starting with 'auto'. I have got 330 points which is the highest amount of points you can get. Overall, I find the spelling list very easy and need a challenge.
