It’s the start of a new month, and the evenings are getting darker and colder here. Perfect weather for cosy moments to experience together and simple language to model. If it is cold where you are, when you're outside or feel that chilly air, see if your child notices. Try modelling little phrases like: “It’s so cold! Brrr!” “So chilly!” “I'm freezing… shiver shiver!” These small, playful comments help your child hear meaningful language right in the moment, naturally. Just naming what you notice and sharing it together can create a lovely connection, even on a frosty day. 🧣❄️ What is the weather like where you are, and what fun ‘weather words’ have you found yourself using lately?

I’m sat in my car in torrential rain, and I’m thinking this would be a great opportunity to model language: ‘it’s so noisy!’ ‘Look at the rain!’ ‘It’s all wet!’. Things or events that are out of the ordinary are great topics to talk about: we add interest and emotion into our voices naturally and this helps children tune into our messages. Find something new or of interest to talk about with your child this weekend. Happy Friday! 🎉

So exited to share the learning modules with everyone - I'm just editing now and hope to upload them all really soon! Keep your eyes peeled 👀
