Dear Parents/ Guardians,
Below is a plan to help support your child while the school is closed.
At the bottom is also a list of websites that you can also use if you have time. Don’t worry if you don’t get it all done.
The copies are not colouring books and should be only used as specified in instructions.
Everyday please try and read to your child. There is a lovely website called ‘Oxford Owl’. If you login you can access their E-Book Library with lots of online stories and books.
Here are a few ideas:

Maths Oral Warm Up

Counting 1-20, counting backwards from 10, fill in the missing number, oral maths problems: I went to the shop I bought two apples and four bananas, how much fruit did I buy? Numbers before and after, quick sums between 1-10, identify simple 3-D and 2-D shapes, identify coins in a wallet, days of the week, months of the year, seasons.
