How about building a fort, getting some clothes out to dress up in, stacking some loo rolls into a castle or giving them an empty basket and telling them to go find some treasure. Try and build some open ended play into every day!

Society needs better awareness of this because it changes the way we talk about the children and this has an impact on their emotional health and wellbeing.

Here's a hack for you on how to make your aided language displays last longer than a laminated sheet of paper.
I use foamed PVC sheets. They are solid, lightweight and waterproof. I get them from a website called plasticsheetsshop.co.uk.

Sounds help us to understand what's going on around us e.g. the beep on the microwave means food's ready. You can use musical cues in the classroom or at home too e.g. shake a maraca for lunchtime, ring a door bell for playtime or nursery rhyme for bedtime. #speechandlanguage
