there!
Does that work? BEcause I'm not sure whether the words are meant to be made up or real words?!

MrWoody said...

nice work Cheeky, Brainy and Howdy
- the words in my copied one are real latin words and they make a real sentence, as stated. the trick to the latin one is that the middle word is a special kind of word. look at it closely, tell me it's attriubtes and then tell me what words like that are called.

I would try one but I can't think of anything to do it on! Anyway, it is really cool!

MrWoody said...

it's very difficult, sog. well done to those who tried - cheeky chicken did extremely well.
remember - the central word needs to be a palindrome, as identified by cheeky and stated in class by lachlan or tyler or whoever it was.
