Year 6 English Word Clouds

Year 6 have been doing some work on synonyms in English. I gave them some boring words - walk, look and speak and with the aid of their brains and a thesaurus asked them to come up with some more interesting words.

We used wordle.net to make word clouds out of the words they came up with. The children put in the 'boring' words 6 times so they that would come out larger and the more interesting words once.
Unfortunately the font changes you can do with Wordle wouldn't work on the computers the children were using so all their word clouds ended up in the same font.

Year 6 loved using Wordle!
