All wrapped in rainbow paper the &#8216;postman&#8217; delivered these gifts to the school this afternoon\u00a0 and the boys and girls were left in suspense to find out what could be inside..<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>Inside each bag there were between 2\u20134 wonderful books, a fun activity booklet, and either a card game with maths resources or a magnetic whiteboard with numbers \u2013 all designed to make learning at home exciting and enjoyable. We also explored the online resources that go hand\u2011in\u2011hand with the bags, giving families even more ways to support literacy and numeracy together.<\/div>\n<div>The highlight of the day was, of course, handing out the bags in class.
