This week our Oral Language task is Adopt a Word. In pairs we had to adopt a word to look after for the week and complete activities with.
The first task was three meanings - find the actual meaning of the word and then create two 'fake' meanings, share them with the class and they have to guess the correct meaning. Can you guess which is the correct meaning for each word?
