“Preparing our children for all of their tomorrows”

Daily activity ideas 

 

As well as any homework that may be set we understand that it is useful to have a variety of resources to hand. Below are some different ideas of things to practice daily, printable resources that might help and websites for each different subject area.  

English- phonics, reading and writing

  • practise sounds flash cards.
  • share a book together. If you read the story you could then ask the children questions to test there understanding. Or children can read a suitable book to you.
  • practise letter formation. To make it more exciting they could use chalks outside, crayons or their fingers in flour for example. 
  • lots of fine motor activities are great for building hand strength. e.g. hamma beads, lego, play doh. Also exercises that help build up core muscles and neck and shoulders are brilliant for hand writing. 
  • Tracing detailed pictures is also excellent for pencil control and building hand strength.
