PTA TOP BUYS A flying start
Help Early Years children develop a lifetime love of learning and fun, by Emma Griffin
Oxford Reading Buddy Give every child a virtual
reading buddy. Pupils from age four to 11 can pick their own interactive character who will be their personal digital reading buddy, encouraging each child to read more while helping them to develop key comprehension skills. There are various quiz questions to keep children engaged, and readers are rewarded with collectible badges – these help to motivate and foster a love of reading. Hundreds of eBooks are available from the loved and
trusted Oxford Reading Tree, TreeTops and Project X series, along with more than 1,000 end-of-book quizzes. Oxford Reading Buddy is simple to set up and has been designed to work on any mobile device, so it can be used at school or at home. Infant, junior and whole school subscription packages are available.

Encourage everyone to get
their hands dirty with Rhino Play’s mud kitchens. They offer endless opportunities for creative and social role play and are ideal for all young children, from the budding gourmet chef to the sensory- seeking messy child. The kitchens are available in various sizes and configurations, with add-ons including worktops, hobs, shelves, utensil racks and ovens. If you have a specific space in mind, Rhino Play can even build a mud kitchen to fit your needs. Lay the foundations for literacy and writing skills by creating spaces for mark-making and collaborative, expressive art. Sturdy, weatherproof easel boards are ideal for outdoor artists and can also be used to lean books and tablets on. Rhino Play also has a range of
story chairs, button seats, seating cubes and benches that are perfect for taking learning outside.
