Weird+Word+of+the+Week!

In room 10 we love learning about new and strange words and their meanings. Mrs Pulman has started us off by introducing some words that we will try and use in our speech and writing. We have now started introducing new weird words of the week ourselves.

 isopod - a crustacean with 7 pairs of legs

contradict - when someone interrupts someone else to tell them that they are wrong

 translucent - you can see light through it - it is not quite see-through though - eg if you have translucent skin - its skin where you can easily see light through it, veins below surface
