About this word search
New Zealand children usually start school around their fifth birthday, so a new entrants class keeps growing through the year. The day runs from the bell to morning tea, lunchtime and home time, and in the summer terms many primary schools have a no hat no play rule. That is why a sunhat sits on this list next to the pencil case.
The grid is fourteen by fourteen and the words run across, down or diagonally, never backwards. Exercise book is the longest with twelve letters, followed by whiteboard, pencil case, morning tea and playground at ten each. Bell, maths and ruler are short and easy to skim past. Exercise book, pencil case and glue stick run together without a space. The double B of rubber and the Y of library and assembly help you spot them.
In class, ask each child to circle the words they used today and underline the ones they will use tomorrow. At home it makes a calm five minutes before the school run.
