Prime Areas of Learning
This half term we will be focusing on Personal, Social and Emotional Development, Communication and Language, and Physical Development.
There will be lots of opportunities to support your child’s development in these areas and they will be embedded throughout the continuous provision, through gentle guidance and support of the practitioners in the setting.
The children will have daily teaching of phonics and this will help to develop early listening and attention skills. Your child’s participation in group time
will support them in making relationships and help them to grow in confidence.
Concept Cat
The children will learn a new word each week with the help of Concept Cat. He will tell the children a story all about the word and he will use props to support learning of the new word.
