What’s in a name? A cloud!

Postby Viviana Kingston » Mon Sep 01, 2025 12:07 pm

Time has escaped you and you realise the next activity has started! You run to the field to join in, only to stand at the edge of the group confused. Everyone including the camp counsellor is sprawled across the grass, a paper in hand as they attempt to write in the air, with only their palm for support.

“Ah! Come join us.” The camp counsellor beckons you over as she sits up. “You can take my pen and paper.”

You stare at the paper as you see several names written out in small script.

“What’s in a name? Or should I say, what’s a cloud without a name?” The counsellor continues. “We’re going to learn about the origins of how clouds were named, but first, you must name them yourself.”

She pointed to a wispy cloud in the sky. “That I’ve named it a Spirallus. Now you find a cloud and give it a name.”

Task:

Solve the Anagram puzzle!

Using the name Cloud Camp, rearrange the letters to form words that contain at minimum 3 letters and at maximum 6 letters.
For example, in the word “Naming”, letters can be rearranged to find the words “aim” and “gain”.
Letters in the word Cloud Camp can only be used and only as many times as it is used within the name (for example, Cloud Camp had two C’s so you can only use C twice in a word).
Submit a list of 10 words made from “Cloud Camp” via Roost PM to earn 10 beans.

Alternatively, research about the origins of the specific cloud names we have today and write a paragraph below with at least 100 words about it.

Send your word list submissions to me via a Roost PM by October 5th at 11:59 PM HOL time for 10 beans.
