Reading and storytelling with children promotes brain development and imagination, develops language and emotions, and strengthens relationships. Just by looking at books with your child and talking about them, you can be a great storyteller and a good model for using language and books. Your child will learn by watching you hold a book the right way and seeing how you move through the book by gently turning the pages. Reading stories with children has benefits for grown-ups too. The special time you spend reading together promotes bonding and helps to build your relationship with your child.
STORY OF THE WEEK IN RECEPTIONIn Reception we will be promoting our story of the week on Google Classroom. Every week we will post a link to the story so you can share it with your child and also a list of activities that you can choose to do with them at home. Every time they complete a task and share it with their teacher they will be given a stamp on their home learning card and work towards earning different rewards.
Our story for the last two weeks was ‘Whatever Next’
Miss Waugh is really proud of Amber, Bethany, Drew, Alfie M and Sadie-May 
who have already shared the story with their grown ups and completed some of the tasks that we have suggested. They will all receive stamps on their ‘story of the week’ reward card.
