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…..
primitive
It’s an adjective, it’s a way to describe something which is from an early stage in history or a condition that is not developed.
Try to use it in your own sentence. Here are some examples…
Primitive humans learned how to use fire.
I have only a primitive understanding of how computers work.
The technology they used was primitive and outdated.
The camp had only a primitive outdoor toilet.
Mrs Henderson
My understanding of flying was quite primitive.
Morning Nathan!
It’s good to see that you’re up early and already doing your WOW word sentence.

Have a lovely day 🙂
Even using extremely primitive technology, we have made great progress.
Morning Hollie! A great example.
I’m so pleased to see you are online early and engaging in your tasks with such energy! Well done!

I love how you are exploring the use of a hyphen in your sentence today! Well done!
Its hard to imagine that people around the world still live in primitive homes with no electricity.
Hi Evan!
Another excellent example – I love the extra detail you’ve managed to add to your sentence after using the word ‘with’
Top Tip – Watch out for the apostrophe in it’s –> it is. It’s a cheeky contraction!

Lovely sentence! I like the Egyptian link too!
