| Curriculum profiles and ideas for continued learning at home | You can help me by looking at books at home with me, I will bring my library book home every Friday and will need to bring it back each week ready to change.
You can sing with me at home and see if I can remember the actions.
When we go out you could point out things in my community such as a library, shop, park or anything else you come across.
To help me with my maths you can count with me from 1-5, count with me when I am getting dressed “1 arm, 2 arms”, “1 leg, 2 legs”, “1, 2, 3, 4, 5 fingers in the glove!” You can also sing number songs with me too.
You can talk to me about different houses we see, and where I live, is it a flat? A bungalow? A house? Or somewhere else?
Please remember I may come home from school with messy clothes, this means I have been working really hard with my learning and having lots of fun too!
