Leatherhead Trinity School & Nursery

Welcome to year nursery remote learning resources. Please use the suggested times below as a guide as your child may take longer to get through an activity.

Communication & Language, Reading & Mathematics 

• Share stories with children every day (10 minutes). 
• Try to use the same book a few times so children become familiar with the story, setting & characters. 
• After reading the book to children a couple of times, talk about the story asking simple questions. 
• Show children how to hold a book and turn pages. 
• Now get children to retell the story in their own words or get them to talk about an event in the story. 
• Use simple objects at home for counting and saying number names in order (1-10) - 10 minutes daily. 
• Count action like claps / jumps to say number names aloud. 
• Spending 10 minutes completing a simple puzzle or playing a game daily is a good way to develop focus and concentration. 
• Making time to talk to children or having simple conversations (during bath, bed or lunch times) is the most effective way to develop their vocabulary & language skills.

Physical Development

• Get children active through taking walks to the park or physical activity in the garden.
• Allow children opportunities to become independent in managing all self-care tasks - taking themselves to the toilet, feeding themselves using cutlery etc.
