We have  continued to explore words that end with -tious and -cious.

Year 6 have chosen a selection of words that they would like use in their writing and so we have been learning about their meaning:

malice and malicious

ambition and ambitious

judgement and judicious

tenacity and tenacious

fiction and fictitious

We ran into a  little trouble with the word ‘fictitious’. In the sentence, They watched a fictitious film. Does the word ‘fictitious’ tell us that the ‘film’ did not exist or that it was a film full of fiction?
