Long Ago

In the Long Ago project, your child will learn about their history and how they have changed from when they were babies. They will learn about their family history and heritage and find out what life was like when their grandparents were children. During the project, your child will make comparisons with schools from the past and schools now, making observations on everyday objects, such as clothes, toys and vehicles.

Supporting your child at home:

• Look at photographs of the children as babies and discuss how they have grown and changed.
• Look at family photographs so the children can see family members when they were children.
• Talk about what your life was like when you were a child.

Stories and Rhyme

In the Stories and Rhyme project your child will be introduced to the wonderful world of stories and nursery rhymes. Reception will listen to and learn a range of traditional tales and nursery rhymes and work creatively to solve problems for the characters they meet.

Supporting your child at home:

• Share a wide range of stories and retell favourite stories using repeated phrases.
• Sing nursery rhymes and songs.
• Talk about favourite stories and story characters.
