How can I help my child at home?
As we will be counting in 5s next week, you could help your child by arranging their toys (cars, bears, lol dolls, etc) in groups of 5 and counting how many are in two groups of 5 or 3 groups of 5.
We have been looking at instructions, so share a set of instructions with your child and ask how they know which order to do things. Use time connectives such as: First, next, then , finally.
Presentation and letter formation is important in year 1, particularly this final term, so please practise letter formation at home. Ensuring that letters are facing the correct way and sitting on the line.
