Below are some links and ideas you can use at home this week to support learning:
Write a number on a paper plate and ask your child to put that amount of grapes/raisins/maltesers etc. on the plate.
Write a number on a small piece of paper, get some paint, a paint the correct number of finger dots beside that number.

Thanks for the blog today and our lesson on the vowel house last night. The children seem to know lots more about it than me. Homework for parents too!
Hi. Thanks for the blog and the introduction to the vowel house last night. Please keep sending the letters each week so I can keep up! Homework for all!
This blog was so busy and full of very interesting facts!!! Such a fun way of sorting with’ emojis’ now that’s clever. Going to mass with your buddies beside you must of been so nice. It’s great that this practice has been such a positive one, and I’m sure you all really enjoy seeing them in different places to. Knowing they are there must be a bit comforting in different environments. . Every week I am amazed, how much you fit into your week… Miss Meechan is amazing..xx
