Language development is an area which we focus on throughout the reception year. The talk listen and cuddle website will provide you with resources and ideas of activities that you can complete at home with your child. We also have packs at school for you to borrow if you wish.

Your child’s reading has improved greatly since starting school in September. To continue with this development, the local library offers all children a Summer reading challenge. We hope you and your child can take part.
