Rhymes provide my students in E7 Forest Gate with bite-sized learning opportunities to develop vital developmental skills. Nursery Rhymes often trigger hours of creative and open-ended play. I noticed that my students use rhymes as a powerful learning source in early literacy. It also enables my students to become interested in the rhythm and patterns of language.
Ways Nursery Rhymes help in teaching:
Language and Communication Development:
Nursery Rhymes are fantastic ways to boost my students’ vocabulary in E7 Forest Gate. Rhymes have pleasing rhythmic patterns and simple repetitive phrases that my students find easy to remember and repeat. My class is repeatedly exposed to spoken language and nursery rhymes to develop their phonological awareness.
Physical Development:
My students in E7 Forest Gate’s Physical participation in action songs develop their fine and gross motor control skills and balance. It helps with their coordination and following simple instructions.
Numeracy
Maths in Rhymes helps my students with their numeracy skills. Singing Rhymes like “Five Currant Buns” helps to develop a familiarity with number sounds and words in a fun way. ‘When Goldilocks Went To The House Of The Bears” introduced them to scale, size and order. These help build the mathematical abilities of my students in and help familiarize them with some Numeracy concepts.
Creativity
Singing and acting out a rhyming song with my nursery students encourages creativity. Through Nursery Rhymes, my students in E7 Forest Gate have found their own personal ‘voice’.
These are ways Nursery Rhymes have helped with teaching my students in E7 Forest Gate.
