The initiative was developed by North Lanarkshire Council to promote partnership working and highlight how easy it can be for parents and carers to help support and develop literacy and numeracy skills in young children by turning everyday tasks e.g doing the laundry or going shopping into fun learning experiences.

We have created a ‘Growing Together Learning Forever’ wall within our nursery playroom. We will display an experience/routine that you will all undoubtedly participate in at home on a daily or weekly basis along with activity ideas and some ‘think about’ or ‘chat about’ prompts.
Participating in these activities and using the prompts to engage in conversation and discussion will capture your child’s imagination, encourage your child’s literacy and numeracy development.
With just a little time to make the most of the rich learning opportunities available in ordinary routines and with no costly materials needed, you can support your child to learn through the world around them. Copies of all activities will be made available for you to help yourself to along with any other resources that we think might enhance this experience.

If you would like to hear more about this initiative or have any questions/comments please speak to Mrs Hill.
