Home Learning
We recently sent home a pack for your child so please complete work which is in your pack but below are some additional websites that will help with your child's learning.
Phonics
Phonics play is a great resource that we use in school every day. You can practice your sounds with your children and also play some reading games. They are offering this as a free resource. Username:march20 Password:home

Reading
Reading with your child every day is very important. We have sent home some books from school for your child to read. You could also get books from the library and supermarkets but also you can ask your child to read things around the house or if you are out and about. Please also ask your child questions about what they have read.

Maths
Please make sure you count with your child every day by counting forwards and backwards, counting in 2's, 5's and 10's.
Numberblocks is a great program you can watch with your child to encourage them to add and subtract and even to double and half numbers.

Purple mash
Your child has started using Purple mash within school. Your child will have a username and password in their homework diary. Please encourage your child to log in to their own account on purple mash as this is one of the skills we have been learning in class. Your child could make a wanted poster or a booklet. More challenges will be added on to purple mash over the next few weeks.
