Overview
The National Curriculum states that children should acquire and confidently use new and varied vocabulary, actively build upon their knowledge, make links between known and new vocabulary, and understand shades of meaning in similar words.
Throughout the school, vocabulary is taught and enriched through carefully planned cross-curricular themes and interactive activities. We plan and share a wide range of texts as it is a great way to introduce new words. We discuss pronunciation, spelling, meaning, and provide plenty of opportunities for children to use the words. We display, and continually refer to, engaging and interactive word walls and vocabulary resources.
