Dear Parents,
This week we are proudly supporting World Nursery Rhyme Week. The tradition of young and old sharing nursery rhymes dates back to very long ago. I’m sure we all have fond memories of our favourite Nursery Rhymes as children. Sadly this experience is slowly fading away with more children not being exposed to the fun and educational worth a nursery rhyme offers.
The importance and value of Nursery rhymes in language acquisition should not be underestimated.
Children in all classes are invited to join with the Primary 1 children this week (beginning 16th November) by enjoying nursery rhymes together in the home.
You could swap the news on the car radio for a nursery rhyme playlist and encourage all to join in ! The YouTube channel “Nursery Rhymes TV” offers a wide range of visually pleasing nursery rhymes which children love.
We would love to see any photos you may have of the children enjoying nursery rhymes. Please send to lcolgan823@c2ken.net or upload to your class Seesaw or Google Classroom.
The “Getting Ready to Learn” initiative has produced a very informative leaflet that we have available to download.
L. Colgan & P. Craven
