Expand Your Vocabulary
It has become more important than ever for students to know and use a wide range of vocabulary. Students in KS3 study a list of 10 words for 2 weeks. Maybe you could help use these words each week at home? Set a challenge to use all the words in a conversation each week?
If you would like any further information on our extending vocabulary work, please contact Julia Farrow or Rachel Cane directly
