“Communication is fundamental to children’s development; children need to be able to understand and be understood. Communication is the foundation of relationships and is essential for learning, play and social interaction”


Here is a selection of different activities to support your child’s Communication, Language and Development skills:

Guess the noise
1. Pick a noisy utensil or piece of equipment in the kitchen
 2. Tell your child to close their eyes and listen carefully
3. Make a noise e.g. chop on a board
4. Get your child to open their eyes and make a guess
5. If they’re wrong, do it again and then show them

To the tune of ‘Frere Jacques’
Lick your ice cream
Lick your ice
With your tongue
With your tongue
It’s all sweet and sticky
It’s all sweet and sticky
Yum, yum, yum!
Yum, yum, yum!




Reading and storytelling with your child promotes brain development and imagination, teaches your child about language and emotions, and strengthens your relationship.

Hello and welcome to this week’s blog post.   Tonight is our Disco, tickets are still available on the door.   All money raised will help towards the improvement of Class 1's garden! We have continued to count down the days for the eggs to hatch.  We now have just 7 sleeps (approximately)! In Class 2 we climbed a ladder at Forest school and explored all of the new growth.  The children have been experimenting by mixing cornflour and water, then later in the week custard power and water.  We have started the cake station this week and the children have been adding their name to the waiting list, using their name label as guidance.  We have used the tap tap shapes to make pictures and putting together puzzles.  It has been very wet this week and we used powder paint to mix with the rain water and made pictures using the brooms.   In Class 1 the children have been exploring messy play with the shaving foam and the sand....
