Building it into your day

It'll amaze you how quickly your child learns at this age - they're curious about everything they see and do. You can help them to make more sense of the world and how they fit in it by talking to them about their interests and opinions. Interacting with your child throughout the day and giving them opportunities to practise what they're learning through real life situations can make a big difference.
Read more about this +

Ages and stages

Children at this age talk about past, present and future events. In reading aloud they use different tones of voice to show meaning and feeling. They use longer and more complex sentences when they are speaking. They like to try out different words and concepts.
Read more about this +

Top Tips

Listen to your child. Encourage them to tell you about things that interest them. Help your child to make decisions by discussing their ideas.

Discuss with your child how reliable information is and whether the television, newspaper or website is trying to sell you something.

Involve your child in everyday literacy and maths - making a list and check prices for shopping. When you are doing DIY in your house - seeing if there is enough space for a piece of furniture to fit.

Encourage your child to enjoy reading by having a variety of books around your home - storybooks, poetry, factual books and books about topics they enjoy like animals, music and football.

Listen to your child reading in short regular sessions. Encourage your child to read with expression. This will help them read more fluently.

Encourage your child to write in their daily lives - birthday cards, telephone messages and keeping a diary.

Play word games - 'Stop the bus' and 'I spy' with a letter - board games - Cluedo and Junior Scrabble and card games - Old Maid, Rummy with your child.

A true story about the history of Lego which can be used as a model text for writing chronological reports or biographies.

The narration of the text can be used to show directly what these texts look and sound like. Note the use of rhetorical questions in the opening section.
How paragraphs often begin with connectives, words to show when something happened or to show the passing of time. e.g. Many years ago, one day, suddenly etc.
It can demonstrate the links between paragraphs e.g: "It seemed like nothing could go wrong. But a stormy night in 1942 changed their luck.

Writing Opportunities

-Practice writing rhetorical questions for effect.
​-Children could create lego models and write instructions
-Use model to create biography for a similar figure.
-Create an advert for the early toys
-Create biography for Ole Christiansen.
-Map his mood through the events in the story.
-Compare lego with other toys such as meccano or modern games and argue why Lego is best. Maybe worthwhile comparing with mine craft, listing similarities and differences, which is more engaging? Which is best for money? Etc
-Design own lego land - use Lego to build it. Draw maps, write brochures and visitors guides. ​

Since 1998 The Poetry Zone has published around 30,000 poems by young people and has had millions of visitors - children and teenagers, real live poets and other adults - who want to check us out, especially teachers who use the Poetry Zone as a fun way of teaching poetry in their schools.

NOTE TO SCHOOLS SENDING POEMS. I'm very happy for schools to send us poems. But I do edit all poems - in the same way that poems would be edited in a book. This does take time - and so I would ask schools to limit the number of poems sent. If a school sends, say, 30 poems - one from every class member - I may have to choose a selection to appear in the Poetry Zone. Schools may, however, send as many poems as they would like for competitions..

Poo Poo Poo! Rude poems can be very funny but be warned - if you send us poems about farts, bottoms or poo they won't be appearing in the Poetry Zone. So please stop sending us rude poems.

And do please remember that all the poems you send should be your own original work. Meanwhile keep writing and sending us poems. We love to read them. Be careful and stay safe

Do you know that our taste buds can develop over time? As children, we can train our taste buds by exposing them to different foods. Over time we develop liking for certain healthy foods. This way we can expand our palette and add many new foods to our diet. If we introduce a healthy diet, full of delicious fruit and vegetables from an early age we can develop our taste buds to like many different nutritious foods as we grow older.

There is lots of evidence to show that the more we taste a food, the more we learn to like it. It can range from from just a few tastes of a food, to 15 or more tries to learn to like something. It ranges per individual child and it also depends on the type of food. That is why the Food Dudes programme gives every child an opportunity to try a new fruit and vegetable at least 4 times, over the course of the Food Dudes programme. This ensures that everyone gets the opportunity to learn to like new varieties of fruits and vegetables.
