‘Homework’ ( things to practice at home)

Make a block graph or tally chart of your own – for example you could ask your family some questions about their favourite food, or count the cars that drive past your front window. You could bring it back to school to share if you wish.

Play this game. Choose addition or subtraction and then set your level of challenge – there are lots of options to try !

Use our class spelling city page to play games which will help you to learn to spell our block one and two tricky words. Follow this link and then choose the list you would like to practise.
