Bookbug Rhyme Time sessions
What a fabulous support we had at the recent launch of this terms Bookbug Rhyme Time, it was lovely to have colleagues from health and CLD to join us.
Every Wednesday morning the group will take place for you and your child from 9 am until 9.15 am with Susan and Amanda, where Bookbug will then issue you will a lovely rhyme bag to share at home with your child until the following session.
In the room we shall be incorporating the rhyme Humpty Dumpty, into the children’s play, we hope that you will help them hear it at home too.
Top Tip from Gemma speech and language therapist
Extend vocabulary – give lots of repetition of words and offer choices to increase vocabulary e.g. ” apple or banana”. Speak in a lively, animated voice to highlight new words to your child.

Three read approach to literacy
The returning children have settled well into the new term , exploring the new resources,reconnecting with their friends, and helping the new children find their way around.
Research has shown that children who can confidently recite at least 4 nursery rhymes will have a greater success when it comes to reading, with this in mind we will now be incorporating a weekly rhyme into the children’s play. As we have had so much rain over the past week the first rhyme which we are going to incorporate is Incy Wincy Spider.
The three read to literacy groups have been reformed based on the children’s stage of development and the progress they have demonstrated last year. To help develop the children’s phonological awareness they will be taking part in weekly sessions of either ABC music or Kodaly, why not ask them which group they are in?
These are the stories which are being read with your child along with the new vocabulary which they will hear.

A huge thank you to all the parents who contributed to the consultation on the Emerging Literacy Home Link Resource for your and your child. And to all the parents who are keeping to the allocated drop off and collecting times for their children, it really is helping to keep you children safe and to ensure that practitioners have time to fully resource the learning and teaching areas.
Bookbug Rhyme Time Sessions
Welcome to the beginning of a new term
We hope that you all have had a lovey summer holiday and managed to get some sunshine no matter where you were.
Remember this session all the children will be issued with their own nursery bag to keep their personal belongings. Each bag is labelled clearly with a picture of each child making it easier for them to identify.
Due to the reduced caretaking/ cleaning hours allocated to the centre, in the interest of safety and security the main doors will not be opened until 8.40 am or 9 am then again at 1 pm. We would ask that you do not arrive prior to these times as it may result in you and your child waiting outdoors in incremental weather.
The centre would like to welcome Mairi Byrne and Yvonne McGirth who has joined the staff team as Additional Support Needs Assistants, Mairi will be contracted to 25 hrs and Yvonne 35 hrs. Early learning practitioner Shannon Brown will be returning two afternoons per week with Amy McIntyre working five afternoons.
The Newsletter is both available as an attachment and on a paper copy from your child’s key worker.
