In Nursery the emphasis is on telling the story from the pictures. Talk in detail with your child about
Who is in the picture?
What is happening in the picture? What do they think will happen next!?
Where is the story happening? Use the pictures, is it at the beach? at the shop? at the school?
When is the story happening? Daytime or night time?
Why did something happen in the story?

In Reception we introduce books with words. Please use the pictures and the letter sounds to decode what the text says. Encourage your child to point to the words as they read. Ideally please read with them everyday, this will help your child become more fluent and confident
Reception Guided Reading Books
Nursery and Reception Parents and Carers – your children adore this Youtube song and we use it as a prompt to ask questions after we have read a story. Could you play it to your children and then ask them the questions about a story that you have read please.
In our class we love to sing songs throughout the day and when we are learning about new things. So, we have put together a list of useful songs/videos that you can watch and sing along with at home that are linked to the work that we would have been doing in school. Enjoy!
Being Kind
Random Acts of Kindness – Our School motto is Respect, Care, Persevere, Succeed, so this is an ideal time to talk to your child about showing care for others. You could draw a picture for a friend and send it to them or you could paint pebbles and leave them for others to find! Go on, make someone smile!
Days of the week, days of the week…
Have lots of fun reinforcing the days of the week with our song. The children will sing this daily and clap along with the beat !! Can they say what day it is today? What day it was yesterday? What day it will be tomorrow? Write the days of the week out and cut them up, help your child to put them back in the right order
Having Fun With Welsh!!
In school, your child is used to hearing lots of lovely welsh language throughout their day!
BBC bitesize has lots of quick welsh videos that you can watch with your child so that they can hear welsh patterns and phrases being used in context.

The videos are fun and engaging and contain lots of familiar welsh words and patterns. Have fun and enjoy them together!
