The Nursery Team look forward to working with you this academic year. There are lots of exciting activities planned! Thank you in advance for your kind support, Ms Van Cook and Miss Crabtree.
As part of your child's Literacy/ English development, children need to practise re-telling a familiar story in their own words. Here is an example of a child re-telling the traditional tale of 'The Enormous Turnip'. Re-telling a story in their own words is a higher order skill, as children need to remember the characters and the sequence. The child in this video remembered all the characters in the correct sequence, learnt the meaning of the TIER 2 vocabulary word 'heave' and then articulated the story to a friend. A child teaching another child is known as 'dialogic talk' and it is of great value to both the child speaking and the child listening.
