Time Sequencing

The purpose of this activity (click this link) is that children use everyday language related to time. You can either print off the sheets, cut out the cards and the children can glue them onto the correct sheet or you can just show the children the cards on the computer and ask the children if the events would happen in the; morning, afternoon, evening or at night. This activity is great for sequencing according to time and encouraging the use of time related vocabulary eg when, next, later, before, after etc. We would love to see videos or photographs of any learning you do related to this activity.

Maths – Counting and Ordering Numbers to 20

If you click on this; Maths – Counting and Ordering Numbers to 20 there are lots of ideas of activities you can complete at home to secure the children’s knowledge with counting and ordering numbers to 20. We have also uploaded this activity to See Saw here.
