Try to keep lessons short and sweet with regular breaks or chillouts in between

Craft - Check Twinkl and Pinterest for ideas. You could work on a summer theme or circus following our term’s theme.

You could also practise independence skills: cutting with scissors, putting on shoes, doing up buttons, doing up zips, tying laces.

Here is a more straightforward way of tying laces - give it a try.

Maths

Practise counting with your children and get them to practise writing their numbers - particularly numbers that they are not yet forming correctly.

Dot to dots are good for number recognition.

You could use a ruler and measure things or make cakes and practise measuring with cups or counting out spoonfuls of ingredients.

Play dominoes, snakes and ladders or other games that use dice or move with counters.

When you are playing games or keeping fit try counting along.

See how many teaspoons/forks are in the drawer, sort the bricks into different colours and see how many there are. Which has more/less?

Which toy is bigger/biggest/ heavier/lightest?

Count in twos -

There are counting and shape songs on youtube (make sure that you are monitoring ads)
