🖍 Learning at home 🖍
Each week Nursery will be sending home our nursery rhyme spoons, we love to sing in Nursery it helps us to develop our communication and language skills through singing!
Our nursery spoons went home today with one of Becka’s key children, this will alternate every week so all children have a chance to share our rhyming spoons at home.
... Please look after our spoons and let us know how children get on by adding pictures to children’s online learning journeys or sending pictures to our Facebook page.
This is something new and exciting for staff and children, today we explained to children they would be able to take the spoons home and the excitement on their faces was wonderful!
If you have any questions about our rhyming spoons please speak to a member of staff.
Happy rhyming!! 😊
