This month P2b have been discovering how babies understand long before we realise, so it is very important to communicate and respond to babies. The children thoroughly enjoyed their visit from baby Ammar and his mum Zeinab, he was showing us how he communicates his feelings and wishes to his mum Zeinab with body gestures, facial cues and making a variety of sounds. The children sang nursery rhymes to Ammar and created a book of their drawings which was presented to Ammar, of their favourite nursery rhymes and songs. In addition P2b were learning how to read baby Ammar’s emotions and this helps us to read each other’s emotions.

The children were so excited to see how active Ammar is becoming since his last visit. He was trying to crawl on the green blanket and waved to the children to say goodbye. Also he delighted the children when he giggled and they said this made them feel happy and excited. Finally Ammar has had his first haircut and everyone thought he looked so grown up.
