Despereaux Book
Our class are reading two books, Wonder and Despereaux, I chose Despereaux. We are learning lots of new vocabulary, and the meaning of them. The chapter that we are up to so far is called, 'A View From A Chandalier'. In case you don't know what chandalier means, it means, a large, decorative hanging light with branches for light bulbs or candles. Sometimes you can have a ornate chandalier. Ornate means, elaborately or highly decorated. Here is a picture of a chandalier...
how very interesting, I wonder what the view below the chandalier ,looking down, would be like if Desperaux and friends were eating a large feast or repas(I think that this may be a french word?). Some chanaliers are very very large and very heavy- the ones in the palace of Versailles just outside Paris are enormous and it must be a chore to keep them clean! but with the lights shining on them they look lovely. thankyou for your interesting word

Thank you for sharing your vocabulary extension learning. I enjoy hearing about what you have learnt. I also know from shopping with you that you'd like a chandelier in your bedroom ☺
ReplyDeleteLooks like a great book. I miss our chandelier from our last house!
