About this word search
This list reads like a week in the upper primary years: the Roll in the morning, an Assembly in the hall, a Spelling test before recess and perhaps an Excursion on the calendar. The School hat earns its spot as well, since plenty of Australian schools keep a no hat, no play rule through the sunny terms.
Every direction counts here, backwards and both diagonals included. Begin with the long two-word entries such as Pencil sharpener and Exercise book, which are printed without a space. The X in Lunchbox and Excursion is a handy letter to scan for when the grid starts to look crowded.
As a follow-up, students can write a short diary entry about a school day using at least eight of the words they found.
