- Food is sorted into categories in the supermarkets.
- Recipes can be followed to make lots of different meals.

Phonics
The home learning letter we sent out before the holidays will tell you what group your child is in for phonics. Please let us know if you need a new letter.
We are learning to read and write a different letter each day:
| Monday | Tuesday | Wednesday | Thursday | Friday | |
| Group A | p | g | o | c | k |
| Group B | j | v | w | x | z |
| Group C | sh | ch | th | ng | qu |
Watch the video on espresso about the letter.
Now tell your grown-up some words that start with today's sound. Finally have a go at writing the letter a few times.
Grown-ups: Every day, revisit the previous sounds that they have learnt.
