Helen Posted May 30, 2005 Posted May 30, 2005 Hi Vanessa, I think the statements here are pushing you in the direction of considering how we celebrate children who are bilingual. How can we use these skills to extend/consolidate their learning? Maybe by practitioners learning a few key words in the child's other language, labelling things in the nursery, learning a song or rhyme, or asking a family member to tell a small group of children a traditional story (eg Three Little Pigs) in the family language, maybe with puppets or masks. Bilingual books are a wonderful way of showing how important we view a child's home language/second language, etc. The lovely Sue R has just sent me her latest article in our NVQ series, and it happens to be C11! I'll ask Steve to put it on the site asap
