In our efforts to continue to develop students’ literacy we have a ‘Word of the Week’ programme

The ‘Word of the Week’ will be displayed in classrooms and around the school and will be used throughout lessons in order to ensure students are developing their vocabulary. Literacy achievement points can now be awarded to students for the correct usage of these words in all lessons.

The ‘Word of the Week’ for the week commencing 16^th May is: Penultimate.

Penultimate:

Next to last.

• This week is the penultimate week of this half-term.
• The penultimate scene of the play.
• This will be our penultimate activity of the lesson.

Synonyms: second to last, last but one.

Antonyms: earliest, original, ultimate.
