Starting School

'Sponge Bob'

Early Learning Project

To make the transition into school easier, we would like to invite you and your child to ELP - Bowmandale's Early Learning Project.

All new Foundation children starting school in September are invited to come and spend some time with us in the summer term. We run hour long ELP sessions on a Thursday afternoon, over a 6 week period. For the first 3 weeks parents attend with their children. Then for next 3 weeks the children attend on their own!

Each week the sessions will focus on a different ‘big book’ to which activities are related. ELP provides an opportunity for you and your child to experience reading, writing, speaking, listening and numeracy in an enjoyable way.

Each week follows the same format:

1. Tick off your name and find your badge.

Name and badge

Signing in and collecting a badge from Mrs. McWilliam, our Nursery Nurse

2. Activities are then set out for you and your child to try.

Decorating cookies Sharing a book

Our activities include decorating biscuits, sharing a book, painting and making models

3. Break for juice and biscuits.

4. Time for a story or rhyme.
