This month, Speedwell Nursery School is highlighting its Songs, Rhymes and Stories page, a rich online resource supporting music and language learning for children and families.
The page brings together a wide collection of videos led by Ellie, the nursery’s much-loved music teacher, and reflects the songs regularly enjoyed at Speedwell Nursery School and Little Hayes.
The Songs, Rhymes and Stories page features many familiar and much-loved songs, giving children the chance to sing along, listen carefully and join in at their own pace. The collection includes Good Morning, One Bright Scarf, Play and Stop, Popcorn Kernels, Shakey Shakey, Zoom Zoom, Forwards and Backwards, Firework Song and Hello Everyone, alongside many other videos that support musical exploration and enjoyment.
Sharing these videos online also gives families an easy way to connect with nursery learning at home, whether they are revisiting favourite songs or discovering new ones together.
Music and rhyme play an important role in early learning, supporting communication, attention and a sense of belonging.
