Letters and Sounds Activity –
Learning songs and rhymes –
It’s great to make singing and rhyming activities part of your daily routines, bedtime is the perfect time or at times when events occur such as singing
‘it’s raining its pouring’ when out in the rain. Sing or chant nursery rhymes and encourage actions or movement to the songs.
You can always put objects relating to the rhymes in a box and ask your child to choose a different one each night at bedtime to sing along with you.
We look forward to
sharing this Autumn Term with you all

Grapes
These are a choking hazard.
Grapes should be always cut lengthways and in quarters. This is to ensure they are swallowed easier and not get lodged in airways.
Grapes are the same size as a child’s windpipe.
We would love it if you were able to leave a review on our Google page:
