They have some super problem solving challenges and mental maths practice too. The children would enjoy making the resources to use too, they could make their own dice, tens frames, part whole models etc. If you're unsure of anything drop me an email or just ask your little one! They'll probably know the answer :)

Reading and phonics.

Reading and phonics.

At school we use the Read, write, inc scheme for reading and phonics.
There are Read, write, inc Live Phonics lessons on YouTube each morning
 at 9.30, 10 and 10.30 for sets 1,2 and 3 letters. These only stay live for 24 
hours. To find out which set your child is working on I have listed our phonic 
teachers names and set being covered. It would not harm to recap sounds in 
other sound lessons that day.
Mrs Smith - set one - moving towards set two
Mrs Bramley - set two moving towards set three
Miss Watling - set three
Mrs Stones - set three

Oxford Owl have a Read, Write inc home learning website  where they 
constantly updating resources. There are Ereading books, speedy green 
words to learn, Videos, help for parents  and worksheets to match the 
sounds we have been learning.

Oxford Owl also have an extensive free eBook Library with a wide
range of books to read.

Audible have also made all their children's stories free to listen to.

Many famous authors are reading their books online daily eg David Walliams.
