Mathematics
In nursery we have been practicing counting to 10 and beyond.
If your child is not confident in counting to 10 , reduce this to counting to 5. You can do this in many different ways in the home while still making it fun . E.g
- stomp around the house counting each time you place down your foot (repetition is key) they will pick up counting very quickly when it is done over and over
- Get some tins out of your cupboard , allow your child to line them up and count them.

- If you use pegs to hang out your washing allow your child to clip these onto something , counting as they go.

In nursery we work really hard to develop to develop the muscles in our hands to help us get ready to start writing. Roll out old wallpaper or wrapping paper onto the floor, if you do not have these just use normal paper. Ask your child to draw the food that the Hungry Caterpillar eats. It does not matter if this does not at all resemble the fruit
Working With Others
Play Kim’s game-
Find 5 objects in your house, while your child closes their eyes take away an object. Can they identify the missing object?
This activity helps to develop attention and concentration.
Draw a picture of the people who live in your house.
Could you draw some family portraits to post to your family who do not live in your house? This will help put a big smile on their face.

Talk about what you are cutting up and get them to help with the process. This could potentially encourage them to try something new also.
