Here are a few challenges to complete with your child to get them engaged with books and reading at the start of 2017:
1) Read a book together and create a role play area in your home or garden. Enjoy acting out the story together and take photographs to share with their class.
2) Find a recipe that has a story link to make with your child, such as porridge for Goldilocks and the Three Bears or cutting vegetables for dipping after reading Peter Rabbit. Read the story or nursery rhyme to your child and enjoy making the recipe together. You can find lots of ideas on the internet and www.sweetestkitchen.com has some ideas to get you started. Take some photographs to share with your child's class.
3) Make a mask that relates to a story you have read with your child. Your child can bring the mask into school and share the story with friends. If you'd like an animal template then they are free to print from www.firstpalette.com.
