even choosing to do so during their free play.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>This week shows a true demonstration that children will learn what they love and that they have the ability to retain what they see or hear.\u00a0 Nursery rhymes are a great starter to introduce activities in all areas of learning &#8211; they lend themselves as a great learning tool for pre-literacy skills, communication and vocabulary development, numeracy skills and so much more.<\/p>\n<div class=\"tiled-gallery type-rectangular tiled-gallery-unresized\" data-original-width=\"500\" data-carousel-extra='{&quot;blog_id&quot;:1,&quot;permalink&quot;:&quot;http:\\\/\\\/provolearning.com\\\/blog\\\/school-news\\\/preschoolers-enjoy-exploring-nursery-rhymes\\\/&quot;,&quot;likes_blog_id&quot;:65587034}' itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/ImageGallery\" > <div class=\"gallery-row\" style=\"width: 500px;
