The year before your child moves to Year R they will participate in the Nursery Narrative Programme once a week.

 

The Nursery Narrative Programme is set over twenty weeks and focuses on communication, language and literacy as this is imperative to all learning as young children cannot function effectively until they are able to listen to, understand and use simple language.

 

The sessions are of a very practical and active nature that last between 15 and 20 minutes, which allows each individual child to become actively involved in a wide variety of activities. Appropriate adult intervention helps the children to express themselves in a stimulating and relaxed environment.

 

The Narrative Programme consists of learning about who, where, when and what happens next with the use of Makaton sign language.

 

The programme is over 20 weeks and is covered by the following:

 

WHO:                               Week 1         Me

                                         Week 2         Who am I?
