Book bags

Ways to support your child at home
Please read with your child at home and support them to practise their high frequency words. When you are out and about encourage them to read signs and labels.
Numbers are all around us - encourage your child to use numbers and numeracy in their every day lives. Some examples of this could be:
- Encourage them to count objects - how many more do you need?
- Give them coins to pay for items at the shop
- Encourage them to learn to tell the time
- Let them weigh ingredients when you are cooking
- Let them measure things around the house
As well as this, we will be focussing initially on the 2, 5 and 10 times tables.
