Good morning.
I can't believe the sun is still shining.
Last week may have been a bit tricky for us all, coming back into some sort of homeschooling and work routine.
I have really felt it myself as I did not sign up for a desk job, which is what I feel I am doing now.
Could I ask a favour from you this week? Please could you get in touch via email if you have not already done so, just to let me know how you are all getting on during these tricky times?
Thank-you to those who I have already heard from. You are all doing amazingly and sharing many of your ideas and images of yourselves. Lets have another positive week, I truly have brilliant parents. PLease contact me at : reception@netherthongprimary.co.uk

This week we are going to be focusing on developing number and counting skills.
The vocabulary needed is all the number names up to 100.
Five suggested activities below.
1 - Play lucky number. You need a dice.
Write a number down numbers 1-6 on a piece of paper circle 1 lucky number.
Roll the dice 10 times and tick now many times it lands on each of the numbers.
How many times did it land on your lucky number?
What number did it land on most?
2- Be a number word detective today and look around the house and in the street.
How many number names you can see?
3- Make a badge I a five/four.
4- Play a game with domino and number names and numerals matching them (see below).
5- Give your child opportunities to write numbers names on a list. e.g How many apples are left in the bowl? How many people live in our house?

TOPIC
Africa - look for Africa on a map.
Look how many countries make up Africa (over 40).
Can you find Kenya the country where the story of Handa's surprise was set?
Can you find out anything about this country?
Below is a link to a clip of a child talking about living in Kenya.
What is daily life like in urban Kenya?
A child living on the outskirts of Nairobi is followed through a typical school day. Nana describes her day, from breakfast time through to the evening.

What are the similarities and differences with Nana's life compared to yours?
e.g You both have breakfast.You both go to school in a uniform....
If possible can you look up the flag of Kenya and make it out of materials or draw it and colour it in?
What do you think the symbols are?
