Early Learning

The parents of Nursery and Reception children enjoyed our Writing Workshop which focused on supporting children in their journey from mark makers to confident writers. Parents developed strategies and discovered resources to support their children to write for purpose and pleasure. After the workshop, the parents had the opportunity to visit their child’s classroom. They supported their children at the Literacy table tops creating chick fact files and fantasy stories.
