Early Words Together - Autumn Term 2

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

A lovely band of parents and carers have joined us on a weekly basis over a six week period to enjoy exploring stories, rhymes and creative activities with their children. It’s been wonderful getting to know them all and discovering their hidden talents – we can see where their children get them from!

Here’s what they’ve been up to!

Week 1

introductions – getting to know each other and the things we like
making sock puppets

Week 2

The Great Ryecroft Bake Off – looking at recipes and related stories
making cookies

Week 3

Exploring Traditional Tales and Fairy Stories
Making our own storyboards and stick puppets to re-tell and make up our own versions of the popular classics

Week 4

Visiting the local library - joining the library and exploring the facilities there.
Enjoying a library scavenger hunt to win a prize.

Week 5

Enjoying rhymes and number action songs
Making our own number action glove puppets

Week 6

‘Jump into the Picture!’ – Enjoying drama to bring alive a fun story using hand-made props!

If your child is currently in Foundation Stage 2 and you would like to take part in the next programme, please feel free to have a word with Mrs Sinclair – we’d love to see you!
