Did you know that BBC Tiny Happy People have created NEW ACTIVITY FILMS for 3-4 year olds and 4-5 year olds with more detailed information about the language benefits for little ones.
Created with speech and language and early years experts,

Such important and relevant training always, but especially with the current devastation in Ukraine and as we prepare to support more new arrivals.

[Silvana Richardson @laIoli]

This course has a special focus on new #refugee arrivals who are new to English. Great guidance for schools! #EAL #teacherCPD
