Number Blocks and Number Jacks
If you fancy a bit of a more relaxed approach to keeping up with your maths, have a watch of Number Blocks or Number Jacks on YouTube.Ā They really help to develop your understanding of numbers and are good fun to watch!

Health and Wellbeing
Remember to look after YOU! The most important thing is to keep feeling happy and healthy so take time to enjoy your family.Ā A great way to calm down or unwind is yoga. We loved doing our yoga in class so try and do some at home!

Try to get outside for your daily exercise or even in your garden if you have one.Ā Being outside can really help how you feel.
Other Curricular Areas
Remember to work through your Learning through Play grid in your home learning pack, it has lots of really good ideas in it.Ā You also can still work through Aprilās home learning grid which I posted last week, Iāll share one for May next week.
Try to be creative this week and create a piece of art that makes you feel happy and that you enjoy creating ā it can be anything that you like!
I hope this has given you some good ideas for the week to come, remember to stay safe and look after each other.Ā Ā Sending lots of love,
