Numeracy

The following link is to a game about shape. It will help develop your child’s understanding of shape names and properties. To access this game use this link:

Stepping Stones

• Cut out 12 shapes from an old newspaper, wallpaper or if you have normal paper
• Number the shapes with a pen, 1-12
• Place them on the floor in a circle
• Have your child pretend that if he steps between the stones, he will get covered in mud, or get wet (encourage the use of imagination)
• Have your child step on the different stones, calling out its number, encouraging counting
• You can make it harder by asking your child to find a number to step on and follow your instruction
• You can make it harder or easier by making the stones far apart or closer together
• You can adapt this game by then adding in other objects from your house to turn it into a mini obstacle course

 

Drawing Activity

Drawing pictures of a child’s favourite toy outside using the toy to create a shadow onto a piece of paper. You can speak about making the character bigger by moving the  toy further away or smaller by moving it closer to the paper. This can also be extended by leaving the toy in the same place throughout the day and going back at different times in the day (an hour or so apart) and redrawing the picture using a different colour. You can speak about how the image is a different size each time you return starting smaller in the morning, larger in the middle of the day and reducing in size again as it gets later on in the day.

 

Stories

Be Brave Little Fish is a story about a fish that has lost his friends. He goes on an adventure to find his friends. This is the link to the book:
