For maths practise, regular use of Numbots (you will receive logins and instructions for this) alongside practising every day key skills like, reading and writing numbers, telling the time on an analogue clock, recognising coins and measuring in different units.
Useful Information: Please ensure your child brings a water bottle to school each day, along with a spare change of clothes.
