Understanding what things are for

Why is this important?
Children begin to be able to categorise things into groups by learning their
functions (e.g. things to eat, wear, drive).

This also helps acquire more vocabulary.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What to do
• Gather together some familiar toys/objects:
★ Cup, brush, apple, chair, hat, pencil.
• Start by putting out two things and ask the child to find an object by its function:
★ ‘What do we eat?’
★ ‘What can we sit on?’
★ ‘What do we wear?’
N.B. Remember not to look at or point to the object for which you are asking.
• Guide the child to the right choice if you need to. Repeat the instruction and
demonstrate the function (e.g. ‘Sit doll on the chair’, ‘Pretend to eat the apple’).

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

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
