Communication and Language

In Early Years, our teachers help us to use good communication and language. They help us to speak clearly, pay attention, listen and understand. We do this in lots of different ways like; listening to stories, answering and asking questions, talking about our feelings and making up our own stories and games in our play.

Big Talk helps us learn new words and these words make our sentences even better! Sometimes ‘Talk’ homework will be sent home, this might look like a text map that we have been practising in setting.
