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: beach & lifecycle Squirrels: rotate & centre Woodpeckers: interact & ecosystem Foxes: swatch & durability
Our Value this half term is 'forgiveness' If you would like to explore this theme at home, see our family leaflet here. |
