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…..
futile
It’s an adjective and it means to absolutely not effect or result!
Try to use it in your own sentence. Here are some examples…
