This pack for Infants Schools contains a set of Sticky Questions for each of Reception (4-5 yrs old), Year 1 (5-6) and Year 2 (6-7). a set of thought-provoking questions for parents and children to share. This bumper set provides a weekly activity for the whole year for over 90 children.
Each class set of Sticky Questions includes 39 questions plus an extra summer holiday question. They are pitched at the age level of the class but will be able to stretch the brightest thinkers. There are 32 stickers for each question. Most stickers are printed 16 to a page, or 8 to page for those that need additional illustrations – a for some freshly minted riddles that parents and children can puzzle over together.
The idea is that one day each week, all the children go home with a sticker on their jumper. Instead of having a conversation about, “Have you done your homework”, the homework IS the conversation. Then the following day, the discussion can carry on at school, drawing on ideas from home.
The questions for Infants School pupils emphasise imaginative thinking, with some that are philosophical and some that are of particular interest to parents and children.
All packs will include ideas on how to carry on the discussion back in school, and how to support children who get less support from home, how to involve grandparents and so on. There will be access to publicity material you can use with parents, such as a customisable version of this letter:
