Hey everyone,

Hope you’re all well and staying safe. I just wanted to say a huge thank you to all the parents who have e-mailed or messaged me on Facebook. It has been so lovely to hear from you and see what your little one’s have been up to. There have been lots of different learning going on at home which is fantastic to see.

Could I ask this week that if you aren’t already, could you manage to fit in a story time with your little one. We would usually read 3 story books a day and I really don’t want them to miss out on all the learning that takes places when reading books together. Research shows over and over again that reading books aloud to children stimulates their imagination and expands their understanding of the world. It helps them develop language and listening skills and prepares them to understand the written word.

If you don’t have access to books don’t worry there are 2 really good links below to 100’s of free stories. https://www.oxfordowl.co.uk/for-home/find-a-book/library-page/

Please keep in contact and stay safe Miss Loney xx
