As a little change from our usual ‘Talking Tips’ we thought we would suggest a quick learning activity you could do at home with your child. Encourage your child to complete the task then bring in to ‘Show and tell’!

 Physical challenge – encourage your child to stand on one foot for 8-10 seconds. Children will be able to demonstrate their gross motor skills during our Physical Play Sessions in the MOD.  Investigating money at home! The children have been learning about shops within the playroom. Why not encourage your child to make a purchase when your at the shops and discuss the process with your child. Staff will encourage children to share their experience during discussion at group time.
