Over the next 5 weeks we will taking part in Pori Drwy Stori, this is funded from the Welsh government through BookTrust Cymru.
I will be sending home a little pack containing a rhyme in English and Welsh and a rhyme calendar for you to keep and enjoy over and over with your child.
When we have finished the rhymes we are lucky to have book which we can explore through activities relating to the book, again you’ll get to keep the book.
There will be a nursery rhyme for you to learn with your child we will also be learning them in class. If you want to take photos or videos of you all having fun and send them to me on class dojo or seesaw and we can share them in class.
There is also a QR code that will play the rhyme for you too so don’t panic about knowing the tune.
This home school link will help your child to know rhymes, songs, enjoy sharing what they have learnt with you and us. They will talk more about books and enjoy listening to stories and retelling them to you.
Please can you complete and return the bottom of the rhyme every week to tell me if you enjoyed taking part.
You will have a new rhyme next Thursday.
