The children are all given a rhyme book every term. Nursery rhymes are of enormous educational value and teach children many concepts and skills.

Nursery Rhymes help children to:

• Develop language and learn new words
• Hear the rhythm and sounds of language
• Develop a sense of humour
• Move their mouth to make different sounds
• Learn through repetition and memorisation
• Develop an understanding of sequence and story structure
• Develop maths concepts such as number and size
• Use their fingers, hands and bodies to act out the rhyme
• Develop listening skills and prepare for reading

Rhymes can be used anywhere at any time. They make a vital contribution to early learning and lay the basis for future success in reading and writing.
