House Word Challenge

House word challenge

In English (word level work) this week we are looking at words that are taken or borrowed from other languages and are now part of our everyday English language.

For example, spaghetti is an Italian word, but we now use it in English.

Add your words and ideas by commenting to the this link with your house group too, and we will calculate which team can come up with the most words - they will get extra house points for their star!

Good luck!

Well done to everyone who added their good words and findings.
It would be even better to more people remembering to take part in the challenge.

You can still add to this one for another week and I will be setting a new one next week!
