Communication and Language

We engage the children in a range of exciting activities to develop their listening skills, vocabulary and self- expression, which are all vital for all areas of learning. We have lots of fun with storytelling, drama, role play, and talking buddies. Lively discussions are also an important part of our learning each day and children’s ideas and opinions are very important to us.

What parents can do to help at home:

-Talk about EVERYTHING!

-Encourage questions

-“Jump” on new words and have fun together talking about what they mean

-Encourage taking turns in conversations

-Encourage speaking clearly

-Praise good listening

-Play games where talking and listening are an important part
