Understanding sentences with two key words

Why is this important?

This is part of the continuum of language development: children learn to abstract meaning from one (key) word and then move to being able to do the same with two.

What to do
• Gather together:
★ Teddy and doll (or two of the child’s toys).
★ Two of the following objects: bed/chair/table/box/plate/cup.
• Put out the two toys and three objects.
• Ask the child to put one of the toys ‘in’/‘on’ one of the objects, e.g.
★ ‘Put doll on the table.’
★ ‘Put teddy in the box.’
• Vary the instructions and use different toys and objects.
N.B. The child doesn’t need to understand the prepositions in/on to do this task.

FAITH

Through our Christian school and ethos, we all aim to believe in ourselves, each other, our teachers, leaders and parents. With reflection and prayer, we trust in God that our prayers will be heard. We know that every child is a child of Jesus, treating everyone with respect and dignity that they deserve.

Keep on asking, and you will receive what you ask for. Keep on seeking, and you will find. Keep on knocking, and the door will be opened to you.
Matthew 7:7
FAITH

WISDOM

We aim to build our pupils’ and teachers’ confidence, delight in their teaching & learning and discipline in seeking wisdom; gaining the truth, knowledge, understanding and skills they will need in their everyday lives. We offer a broad and inspiring curriculum that nurtures emotional intelligence, creativity and remembering of important knowledge. We teach and learn collaboratively leading to our pupils developing the life skills of learning.

For the Lord gives wisdom; from his mouth come knowledge and understanding;

ASPIRATION

We aim to be the best we can be. Whilst nurturing our pupils’ and staff, we encourage and drive them to aspire to achieve their hopes and dreams. We are honest in the fact that this will take hard work, perseverance and resilience.

For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.
Jeremiah 29:11

We are a family. We show compassion for all members of our community irrespective of gender, ethnicity, religion or sexuality. We strive to be ‘courageous advocates’ for our local, national and global community.

There is no longer Jew or Gentile, slave or free, male and female. For you are all one in Christ Jesus.
