The word ignited means 'light on fire' Devon
ReplyDeleteNominated… means when you are nominated for something e.g. you get nominated to carry the cauldron at the Olympic games. I got nominated to read in assembly. Also you can get nominated for a job.
ReplyDeleteReflected means that if you are untidy you show that you are an untidy person and if you are a tidy person you show that you are a tidy person.
ReplyDeleteMy word is torchbeareres
ReplyDeleteTourchbeareres are kids that carry the torches for the olympic teams. These kids are very lucky to have the chance.
Reflected: For example, if Room4 keeps their class neat and tidy then that reflects that we are neat and tidy.
ReplyDeleteNominated: For example, someone would say I nominate Lucy as the head girl for choir.
Great to see you learning such complex vocabulary Room 4. I hope you are enjoying learning about the Olympics, it is very exciting isn't it? Lets hope New Zealand can win some medals soon!
