Wellcomm
In order to close the word gap, we need to work in partnership with our parents; we can’t work in isolation and have the same impact on children’s language development. Wellcomm provides us with a developmental framework and a small step approach to the knowledge and skills children need to become competent communicators.
Please find a range of activities below which you can work through with your child at home.
The Early Years curriculum is split into 7 areas of learning.
Here’s what we will be focusing on this term:
Personal, Social & Emotional Development:
Build confidence settling in to a new class and environment, play alongside others, building up new friendships, share their experiences and skills with others, adapt behaviour, become familiar with routines and class rules
Communication & Language:
Speaking and listening to each other, sharing ideas, responding to instructions, answering questions, learning new songs and using language in imaginative play.
Physical Development:
Show preference for a dominant hand, move with confidence in a range of ways and explore the outdoor area.
Literacy:
Sharing stories, book handling skills, using pictures to tell stories, learning letter formation rhymes, developing speaking and listening skills, hearing initial sounds in words, beginning to make marks and form letters.
Mathematics:
Counting and recognising numbers to 10, Forming numbers to 10, exploring repeating patterns.
Understanding of the World:

Expressive Art and Design:

First your child will learn to read:
The children have been introduced to a toy frog called Fred! Fred can only say the sounds in a word and needs your child to help him read the word. Fred will say the sounds and children will work out the word. For example, Fred will say the sounds c–a–t, and children will say the word cat. This is Fred Talk: sounding out the word.
Have fun with Fred Talk at home!
“What a tidy r-oo-m!”
“Where’s your c-oa-t?”
“Time for b-e-d!”
