This is The Weeping Shadows. Mr M gave us a book to read and on some pages there were words we had to search for their meanings. We used the school dictionary, looked on the internet and we used the words above in blue writing.

  1. Excellent vocabulary work, Daniel.

    Identifying words we are not sure of the meaning of and working out their meanings is very important.
