Listening, Attention and Understanding
Children will learn to listen carefully and enjoy longer stories, remember much of what they have heard. Stories that we will share include:
Lulu's First Day at School
The Colour Monster
Goldilocks and the Three Bears
Bear feels Happy
Bear feels Sad
Children will also learn how to listen carefully and why it is important. Children will learn 'Ginger's Listening Rules'.
Looking with our eyes
Listening with our ears
Keep still
Keep quiet
Children will practise answering questions when we have shared a story during circle time and our Talk for Writing lessons. This half term we will be focusing on 'who', 'what', 'when' and 'where' questions.
For example - 'Who went to the shop?' - 'What did Lula take to school?' etc
Speaking
Children will know and retell the story 'Goldilocks and the Three Bears'.
Children will develop social phrases such as 'Please can I have...?' or 'Please can I go...?.
Children will become more confident with joining in 'Show and Tell' to showcase what they have been learning or something they have made / done.
Children will also take part in a range of WellComm activities to develop their understanding of vocabulary. Please watch out for some useful tips on how you can support your children with developing vocabulary at home!
