Word Aware

Our topic this term is ‘The Ancient Greeks’

The below list is part of an initiative called Word Aware that we are using in school. We thought it would be helpful to share this list with you so that you can use some of these words at home when discussing the topic. If your child speaks a different language at home, it would be helpful to discuss and translate these words using your home language. We may add to this list during the topic as new words are introduced.

French 

French homework is optional but we recommend children use Year 6’s French Google Classroom, Linguascope and Belmont’s French Website to consolidate what has been taught in class.

French Google Classroom

All year 6 children have be invited to their French Google classroom where they can find French tasks and activities.

Belmont French Website

Go to Belmont’s French website to find out what we have been doing in class and for extra activities and videos. The French website is updated regularly. Children must login to their Belmont Google account to access the website.

 

Linguascope

We recommend children use Linguascope regularly to learn French and other languages for our Language of the Month.

Reading for Pleasure Book List

In addition to our reading expectations for Year 2, we also encourage reading for pleasure. As part of our focus on reading in school, we would like to develop the lending library of books within each class. This will enable the children to foster a passion and love of reading at Belmont and ensure that they have access to high quality texts.

Please find links to two book lists that have a variety of we would love to have in class.
