We would like to start by saying a sad goodbye to Shriya, Eeshar and Wally who is moving up to Small Steps; we hope you have lots of fun! This month we are looking at the ways we can develop our children’s language through fun activities. We will be regularly engage in song times with the use of props, story sacks to develop their attention and listening skills alongside chatter boxes with specific themes (i.e. weather or family). These are all fun and exciting ways for your child to develop their language skills as well as their expressive skills. In addition to this we will be doing lots of physical activities as we have a range of ages all at different stages of physical development. We will be getting out the soft play, the tunnels and introducing them to positional language such as over and under, developing their mathematical skills. We will also be introducing the children who are of walking ability to the large wooden blocks and balls outside. This will get them used to the outside area for when they make the transition into Small Steps as well as developing their climbing and safety awareness.
