Nursery you’re working so hard and having so much fun. Rakhi and Aysha have loved seeing what you’ve been doing at home :).Art/Mark MakingA long long time ago there was a fire in London on a street called Pudding Lane! The fire was so big, lasted so long and spread so quickly so they called it the ‘Great Fire of London!’ Rakhi went to visit Pudding Lane and she met someone who needs Nursery’s help.... |

We are going to be role playing Doctors and Nurses today. You can play with a grown up/your brother/sister, you can even play with your cuddly toys! Remember to do lots of talking.

Parents, role play (throughout the EYFS) is the most important part of children’s early development. When children are given the time, opportunity and space to role play, they learn many skills. Role play allows children to develop their confidence, creativity, communication and language skills, physical development and problem solving skills. They are able to act out different roles, different occupations, what they see out in the community and at home. When an adult facilitates their play and plays alongside them, allowing the child to take the lead, this is where the magic happens. Our children’s language develops, their independence, their imagination, their early story telling skills, early writing, and knowledge of number. They use this play to make sense of the world around them. Their play is meaningful.
If you can sit every day for at least 10 minutes and role play with your child, ensuring that this play is language rich, you will be giving your child the foundation they need to develop a love of learning and master all of the skills mentioned above. |
Your child may make marks like this. This is what we want! This is called their early writing. It doesn’t look like yours or their older brother’s and sister’s writing. Please praise your child’s writing when they show you this. Don’t call it scribbling, call it writing and ask them what their marks mean :). They’ll love telling you. |
