Letter to parents
Dear parents,

Welcome to The Home Fun Booklet! We hope you will use the activities inside to help your child practise
English at home and with their friends.

Your child will bring home this booklet to practise with you what they have learned in class. You don’t need
to be an English expert to help your child with these activities. All the answers and audio recordings are
online at http://www.cambridge.org/funresources . Have fun and keep practising with your child. Try to use
the vocabulary here in everyday life and games and don’t worry about making mistakes. On pages 7, 11,
15, 19 and 23 you will see this tree:
This tree shows how your child’s knowledge will grow and progress through the
units. Ask your child to read the ‘I can…’ sentences in the tree and to think about
what they say. They can colour in the leaves green, orange or red when they agree
– try to say ‘Well done!’

The Let’s have fun! pages (24–25) feature projects that develop language,
mathematical, digital, social, learning and cultural skills useful for modern life.
Look for the following signs next to activities in the booklet to show which of these
skills your child is developing:

language mathematics and science digital social and civic

learning to learn culture write/draw your own ideas

The picture dictionary at the end of the booklet (pages 26–31 ) is for your child to write in through the year.
Ask them to write the words they know from all the topics. Make sure they can see they are progressing!

This booklet helps to prepare children for the Cambridge English: Young Learners tests, which are a great way
to give your child more confidence in English and reward their learning. For more information, please go to:
http://www.cambridgeenglish.org/exams/young-learners-english .

We hope both you and your child enjoy using this booklet and have fun!
