- Practise the addition strategy of 'counting on' using real dice or using this dice tool. 

       Roll two dice and encourage your child to practice counting on by starting with the biggest number and counting on.

       E.g. For the addition sum 5 + 3 the students should start with the biggest number, 5 and count on 3 more so it would sound like "5.....6, 7, 8". 

       This strategy is used in place of counting or starting at 1...2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8.

Choose one activity each day from the following menu. 

 1. Roleplay: Set up a sports shop using a desk, cash register, money,  clothing, shoes, sporting equipment and

    accessories.

    The children can pretend to be a sales assistant or a customer and role play some of the following

     scenarios: Asking customer if they can help

                     Paying for item – cash or card

                     Trying an item on

                     Returning something as it was the wrong size

                     Making a complaint

 2. Construction: Pupils can construct any of the following: A pitch or court (football, tennis, basketball etc.)

                                                                                          Obstacle course

   These can be constructed in miniature or in actual life size. For example, green sugar paper and   

    white chalk could be used to mark a football pitch with blocks acting as goal posts. While your child could

    design their own obstacle course in the garden
