Word of the Day

Academic Year 2024-2025

 

Word of the Day:         One of our key areas as a school this term is to develop our children’s vocabulary. Every day, your children will be introduced to a new word and as well as discussing the definition, we will also help children use the word in sentences that they say and write. Every week in the newsletter we will share the latest words of the week. Please help us to develop your children’s use of language by encouraging them to use the words at home.
