Early Words Together - 05.03.18

We are currently running a National Literacy Trust initiative in school called The Early Words Together Programme.

We have a lovely band of parents and carers who are joining us on a weekly basis over a six week period to enjoy exploring stories, rhymes and creative activities with their children.

Here is what they have been up to.
