Reading Welcome back to Spring 2
Transcript of Reading Welcome back to Spring 2
Reading
Enjoying books and
reading stories from an
early age is crucial in the development
of children.
It helps their ability to understand
words, use their imagination and de-
velop their speech, as well as being
something they really enjoy.
At least one or twice a week, please
share and read a book with your child.
Please discuss the story with your
child. Talk and ask questions about the
book, the setting, and different charac-
ters within the book.
Encourage your child to talk about
their favourite part of they story and
get them to explain why they like a
certain part.
Use ‘Busythings’ and ‘Jolly Phonics’
song to support phonics learning.

Mental Health and Well Being
It is so important that we look after our well-being in these difficult times. Try to keep as active as you can, in order to stay fit and happy.
Try to do be active in the garden or go for a daily walk with your child. Enjoy spending time with your family.
Physical Development/Daily Exercise
As you are aware, exercise is important to help
with both our physical and mental-wellbeing. In
early years physical activity promotes healthy
growth and development in children. It helps
build a healthier body composition, stronger
bones and muscles. At home encourage your
child to:
Dance/move to music
Skip around the garden
Cosmic Kids Yoga
Maths Skills

Look for 2D shapes around your house and name them.

PSED
It is a great time for your child to develop how they make relation-ships, their self confi-dence and self aware-ness and how they manage their feelings and behav-iour. Remind your child to be respectful, inquis-itive and have self be-lief like our school ani-mals.
