Below are some activities that you can do to practice these:
Activity 1 – Practice writing you sounds and common words. You can do this on paper with pencil, crayons, pens etc. You can do this outside using chalk, squirting water from a bottle, making them out of twigs and stones be as creative as you can.
Activity 2 – Read and write some words starting with your sounds like ant, pig, sip …. and draw some pictures to match the words.
Activity 3 – Use some of your common words to write some sentences or tell an adult some sentences like – I got an apple from the fruit bowl.
Activity 4 – Make flashcards of your common words and try jumping on each one when an adult calls them out or read each one as you jump on them or even throw a ball onto each word and read them when the ball lands on a word or stick them on a wall and shoot them with something.
Activity 5 – Have someone give you a little test at the end the week to write the sounds and spelling words you have been practising.

Reading
Using the Oxford Owl website find the book “Big, Bad Bug”
Read the book with an adult and talk about what happened in the story. (Check the first page of the book for a parents guide).
A written ‘Reading to Write’ activity is attached if you wish to complete a follow up task using the book.

Health & Wellbeing
Continue to get daily exercise, perhaps a walk with your family or exercise classes online with Joe Wicks or Cosmic Yoga or Jumpstart Johnny or any other good resource you have been using.
You could also try this 60 Second Challenge each day. How many socks can you pair up and throw into the box? Parents can join in too if they want to!
It is also important to keep your mind healthy. Here is an activity you can try.
Mental & Emotional Health – Faces & Feelings
Please watch the following clip –
https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/clips/zfjn47h
Throughout this clip, read out the dialogue written on the screen during the sketch as though actually talking with Rodd. Encourage your child to participate and call out answers to Rodd where appropriate.
There is also an opportunity to pause the clip half way through for you to further discuss huffy behaviour, and what could be a better alternative.
You and your child could explore facial expressions that convey different emotions.
You could even write down lots of different emotions, and all of these could be put into a bag. Your child could then choose a feeling from the bag and, keeping it a secret, draw a face or make a face to represent this feeling.
You could try to guess what feeling they are showing. Have fun!
Minibeast Topic
Activity 1 – Use the ‘What am I?’ cards to describe each minibeast and see if an adult or sibling can guess what you are describing. You could also play ‘Pairs’ with the cards by placing them all face down and taking turns turning the cards over and matching the description.

Activity 2 – Take a closer look at some minibeasts and sort them according to their features. For example, legs/no legs, wings/no wings…

Art
Collect pebbles from your garden or on a walk. Use pens or paint to make them look like different bugs!
As always, I would love to see any pictures of these activities or any other activities you have been doing, through our Microsoft Team page or on Twitter.
