Take care,

• Watch the following short videos all about the 'q' and 'x' sounds:

• Practise saying and writing these sounds
• It may be a bit tricky to find objects around the house that have these sounds at the beginning (particularly x) so just have a chat about some words that you can think of e.g, quilt, question, queen, excited, experiment.

Maths

Make a pretend shop using items from the kitchen cupboard. Ask your child to pretend to be the shopkeeper and do different things such as sell the food, sort it into groups such as types of food, sizes, weights etc.

Reading/Writing

Remember and talk together about the different events in Room on the Broom or The Gruffalo. Ask your child to draw a story map of this or pictures showing what happened at the beginning, middle and the end of the story.

• Listen to the Gruffalo song, learn the ‘Monkey Puzzle’ song in makaton and dance along to the ‘Gruffalo’s Child’ song. There are also some great interactive games in the play and explore area. Colour your own Gruffalo using the paint game, create your own monster on monster maker and much more.
