‘Run, run as fast as you can you can’t catch me I’m the gingerbread man”
You can encourage your child to join in with the repeated phrase in the story, you may want to retell or act out the story using toys or with other people in your family.Your child can explore this as they choose, and with your encouragement to do lots of talking to practice telling the story.

Washing Hands
We need to wash our hands to keep them clean and stop the spread of germs. At school we wash our hands;

- Before eating or touching food
- After using the bathroom
- After blowing your nose or coughing
- After playing outside

Sometimes we use hand sanitiser when there is not a tap nearby, this can come from a dispenser or a bottle. You can put one squirt on your hands and rub them all over the front and back of your hands and between your fingers too.
