On the 7th of June, Mr Dingley, Mr Kitson, and a group of Year 12 English Language students visited a local nursery as part of the Child Language Acquisition topic of the A-Level course. Our students have recently been studying how children develop language from a young age and this visit allowed them to observe toddlers interacting with one another as well as enabling us to see the language-learning strategies being used by the members of staff first-hand. Our budding linguists were exemplary and it was a pleasure to see them talking and playing with the children! From playing tag and catch to looking at snails in the compost heap, our Sixth Form students engaged with the young people at the nursery in the most fantastic manner. Special thanks must be given to Bright Kids Nursery and all of the staff there who do such an amazing job and allow us to see all of the theories and ideas we have studied brought to life!
