We enjoy developing our ICT skills in Nursery – Da iawn Meithrin!
We were able to listen carefully, follow instructions and have a go!
Pupils talked about the parts of the Nativity story and sequenced picture cards correctly.
Year 2 enjoyed another fantastic library visit to Port Talbot Library with Leah last month!
We listened to stories and then could choose our own library books to borrow from the library. We have our own class library cards and our books were stamped at the desk!
Diolch yn fawr Leah and Port Talbot library!
When your child starts Nursery, a member of staff will carry out the WellComm Screen to see how your child’s speech and language skills are developing.
The early identification of any speech and language difficulty/ delay is vital to improving your child’s overall potential.
It is never too early to consider your child’s communication and to support and encourage this from an early stage.
Staff will carry out some short activities. Toys and pictures will be used to make it fun and interesting.
your child may be provided with targets to work on in school and at home, this will support any areas of their language that need to be developed.
At St. Joseph’s, we use several websites to enhance literacy and numeracy activities. Please see below a list of websites that you and your child can use at home in order to enhance their learning.
HWB – an online tool full of activities and resources for children. Your child has their own username and password that they can use to log in. Please ask your child’s teacher if you have not received their log in details.
