This Learner’s Book provides activities to support the third term of Let’s Explore for Cambridge Early Years 3.
Activities can be used at school or at home. Children will need support from an adult. Additional guidance about activities can be found in the For practitioners boxes.
Some activities use stickers. The stickers can be found in the section in the middle of this book.
Stories are provided for children to enjoy looking at and listening to. Children are not expected to be able to read the stories themselves.
Children will encounter the following characters within this book. You could ask children to point to the characters when they see them on the pages, and say their names.
The Learner’s Book activities support the Teaching Resource activities. The Teaching Resource provides step-by-step coverage of the Cambridge Early Years curriculum and guidance on how the Learner’s Book activities develop the curriculum learning statements.

Read each sentence together and ask children to circle how they feel. For each sentence, encourage children to discuss why they feel happy, sad or don’t know.

Remind them of when they started this school and how they became comfortable and happy here.
