F-r-e-d talk games
Have a go at some F-r-e-d talk games at home. In phonic lessons we have a frog called Fred. Fred only talks in sounds. An example, s-t-ay the word is stay or sh-ow the word is show.
Fred talk games are helpful to identify the sounds in words.

‘Belly Buddies’ mindfulness breathing exercise
During busy times, it is important to take a moment to be calm. Here is a simple breathing activity for children and parents to do at home. All you need is your favourite soft toy!
Belly Buddies
Find a space with limited noise or distractions, such as your child’s bedroom. Lie down on a soft surface with your legs and arms spread wide and your palms facing down. Take your favourite soft toy and place it on top of your belly button. As you take a deep breath in, count “1, 2, 3” and watch as your toy rises up with your belly. Repeat as you breathe out, counting “1, 2, 3” and watch as your toy sinks down. Repeat 5 times or more. You may wish to add relaxing music.
