Vision - To develop and promote language and communication across the school

INTENT - At Queen's Drive, the development of language is of high priority. Word Aware is a programme used across the school to teach vocabulary to our children. 

                                   

                

 

 

 

 

IMPLEMENTATION -Each day, children are 'taught' a new word as part of the programme. These words are then embedded or 'activated' and reviewed each day. The following lists are focus words for the current / recent term for each year group. Parents can help children by talking about and practising saying these words at home.

Alongside this specific teaching, children are also exposed to a wide range of other vocabulary through their lessons and reading over the week.

           

 

              

 

IMPACT - By the end of each year in school, children will have built a bank of words that they know and can use in their speaking and writing. By the end of KS1, children with EAL will have developed their level of fluency in English.
