In Year 4 we always love to learn new words and challenge ourselves to use them in our conversations and writing.
Which new words have you learnt this week?
This week, my new favourite word is…..
diligent
It’s an adjective and it means to have or show care towards something.
Try to use it in your own sentence. Here are some examples…

You can also use it as an adverb i.e.
