Fridge words
At The Roebuck School we value the importance of vocabulary by making words and knowing their meanings, a priority in our classrooms. This helps to empower children, let them have fun and enrich their learning too.
The great thing about vocabulary is that it's accessible to all pupils. They become used to using more complex langauge and are eager to show and tell you the new vocabulary they have discovered.
Each half term we give the children their new set of 'fridge words' on Class Dojo for them to practise at home and discuss with family. As they say 'knowledge is power' and giving the children the ability to stretch and broaden their vocabulary is a priority for us all.
A varied and robust vocabulary improves all areas of communication - listening, speaking, reading and writing and we love to celebrate that in our school.
