Every week we encourage parents to support their children to learn and use new vocabulary. In school we will be exploring the origin of new words, what they mean and how to use them effectively in context. If you can encourage your child to use these words it would be really helpful! Kittens: half & hard Squirrels: equator and compass Woodpeckers: particle & gas Foxes: location & navigable Our Value this half term is 'Perseverence' If you would like to explore this theme at home, see our family leaflet here. |
