As a foundation subject lead I created this glossary of art terminology/ extended vocabulary list to ensure that the children in my school had a broad range of vocabulary that could be used across the curriculum. I began with Year 1 and, based on National Curriculum progression documents, I compiled a list of vocabulary that the children should see, hear and be encouraged to use. I have added new vocabulary to deepen the children’s understanding and broaden their vocabulary for each year group. The vocabulary lists are broken into Key Stage 1 and 2 and are progressive showing high frequency words, sight words, vocabulary from the national curriculum and where appropriate, the year group spelling lists. These features are colour coded within the document. This list can be used by: Subject Leaders as part of progression documents and curriculum for the school. Teachers as a planning scaffold and an assessment tool to ensure children have a broad Geography curriculum. Teachers to deepen their subject knowledge. Teachers and subject leaders to promote high standards in vocabulary across the curriculum. To ensure Geography is linked to English and reading where possible. Pupils may find this resource useful as a check list in their sketchbooks at the beginning of each topic. My school have used this grid this year and we have noticed a great improvement in the children’s understanding of Geography vocabulary in their speech and through their writing in English.
