1. Your first mission is to think about people in your family who are special & important to you. They are your heroes at home. What is special about them? Are they kind? clever? helpful? Can you create a picture of your hero at home and write what makes them special to you?

5. Literacy RWI
Before children learn to read words, they need to say the sound that is represented by each letter or group of letters and sound out words orally. E.g. c-a-t, sh-i-p, s-t-o-p etc.
In nursery we teach the first set of sounds (Speed Sounds).
25 single letter sounds (m a s d t i n p g o c k u b f e l h r j v y w z x) and six 2 letter sounds (sh th ch qu ng nk).
When teaching your child to say the sounds, its important to say the pure sounds. This means we say mmmmm not muh and lllll not luh. (A slight uh cannot be helped when saying the sounds b d g j w y). How to say the sounds follow this link. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TkXcabDUg7Q
Sounds of the week are m a s d t
You might like to do a sound a day
- Play I spy around you home and garden. Can you spot things that start with the m a s d or t sound?
- Practice writing the sounds with a paintbrush and water on your patio/path.
