Please help your child(ren) to remember the words

Song Let’s drink water

Let’s drink water I love water It gives me, energy Have some water too It is good for you Drink it up Drink it up

Rhyme Early in the morning

I crawl out of bed To wash my hands and comb my face

Then I drink my cornflakes and chew my tea Getting up early is not easy for me

Rhyme Body

Look at my body, how it swings, Look at my fingers, full of rings Twist and turn high on my toes,

Up and down my pretty head goes. See the new shoes on my feet,

This is me, am I not sweet?

Name the four seasons. Point to the Winter season. Only colour in the Winter season. Don’t colour in the other seasons, leave them blank.

We wear mittens to keep our hands nice and warm. Draw a line to connect the matching mittens, Then colour the pairs to match.

Trace the line leading the squirrel to the most nuts. How many nuts can you count? How many nuts can you count at each line? How many nuts can you count all together? (If the squirrel collects all the nuts from each line.)

Trace and colour by number using the code.

Can you tell how many eyes the snowman has? What does the snowman have for a nose? Is this snowman happy or sad? Why do you say so? How many hands does the snowman have? What clothing is he wearing to keep himself warm? Colour in this snowman.
