https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6c5cb0u0rPM

listen to the story with your child – key questions:  Who is the main character in this story?  Who are the other characters?  What happens at the beginning?  What happens in the middle – who does the Bear meet?  What does he see when he is travelling to the moon?  What do they eat when they are on the moon?  What do you think it would feel like on the moon?  What was your favourite part of the story and why?

Activities:

• Look at the keyword page – ask your grown up to write these out for you or use the keyword home pack and see if you can recognise them – keep trying and see if you recognise more each time. 

• Read a book together – use the oxford owl website and choose 4-5 year old books or 4-7.  I really like Big Bad Bug!
