handwriting
Try some handwriting practice. Sometimes if you don’t use a pen or pencil for a while it can feel weird! You could write a letter to someone else in lockdown, a friend or family member, to help to make them feel good by telling them what you’ve been up to and asking them how they are getting on. You could then post it to them. Do it in your best handwriting and it will definitely cheer them up! You could also do this on a computer to practice your typing.

Comprehension. When we do maths comprehension, we need to read the information carefully first and find the information that will help us answer the questions. In this type of comprehension, numbers and names are the things that will help the most.
You can take notes about the passage as well, this can help.
Then read the question and ask yourself what is the calculation you need to do to work out which answer is correct. You can also say – are any of these answers unrealistic? Which ones don’t seem correct?
Enjoy your weekend.
