Communication Board Update
This week on our communication board you will see our Nursery Rhyme of the week is Humpty Dumpty and we have the Makaton displayed to go alongside which are King, horse and men. The Nursery Rhyme and Makaton aid your child’s communication and language skills so please try these out at home with your child. Please look out for the yellow disk being attached to the communication board in the next few days which will be a recording of Humpty Dumpty by an ECC volunteer from either the AM or PM session. It will be a different child each week.
