A huge big thank you to all parents/carers who attended the recent workshop with Nicola and Christine your attendance was greatly appreciated and feedback has suggested that those who had attended found it to be informative, interesting and have taken many ideas home, which they can use to further enhance their child’s skills in literacy.

The workshop began with a fun interactive Nursery rhyme quiz as the importance of having fun with these was discussed we then went on to talk about the 4  areas of literacy – oral language, phonological awareness, concepts of print and fine motor development. The session ended with the much deserved story massage of “Pete’s a Pizza”.  The group were introduced to the strokes that the children are learning in nursery and will be presented with a story massage book for use at home with their wee ones.

A huge thank you to all the parents and carer’s who are continuing to attend our Family Learning Sessions. You supported us to bring a fantastic book to life “Dear Zoo”  for your little ones, by helping them choose the prop to match the narrative and provided the accompanying sounds! You then helped the children extend their learning by finding the various animals out in garden. While adding to their vocabulary and emergent literacy skills with descriptions of where to look for each animal.
