Dear Parents / Carers
Please find below this week’s Weekly Update!
Letter of the Week – Our chosen letter for our next session is ‘u’! Please can your child bring in an item which has a ‘u’!
Here is a quick refresher: Here is a really good website which might help with this activity & finding an object: Home-speech-home.com and click on ‘Word lists’, scroll down and click on the letter under ‘Articulation’, find the letter of the week e.g. ‘u’ this week. This information can help with children’s speech & language and their phonics which is good for children who need help with their speech sounds. If your child is not yet able to identify the letter with an object, try this activity: Using the word list, collect several objects with the letter ‘u’, place them in a box and let your child decide on which one to bring in and bring in a different object each session. This might help your child identify the letter with the object more easily.
Makaton – This is a language using signs and symbols; we are going to learn ‘goodbye’:

Playhouse Activities This Week – This week has been another busy week; We’ve continued with our topic on teeth and thank you for your ‘teeth cleaning’ selfies.. they’ve been great! We’ve been learning nursery rhymes and shape recognition. We’ve also had worm hunts.

New addition – We also have a new Bear joining the Playhouse; Nita is coming to join us from America, she is a native American. ‘Nita’ means ‘bear’ in native American. She has been on a long plane journey and is a bit jet lagged so will join us on Monday .. she needs to catch up on her sleep.
