Show and Tell

We are introducing a new session in Nursery - 'Show and Tell'.

We ask that the children bring in something from home that they can talk about in front of a small group. The item may be a toy of special significance, a photograph of an important event or, indeed, anything else that the children can speak with confidence and knowledge about.

This session will be used to cover the following development statements from the new Early Years curriculum:
