Here are a list of online resources which may help to keep your child entertained if you are choosing to self-isolate or if school closures happen. Unlike the primary curriculum we know our children learn best through a practical hands on approach which is delivered through play.

This month we suggest http://www.nickjr.co.uk/play/paw-patrol
We are aware that the
children are big fans of Paw
Patrol so why not encourage
some basic maths skills via the
Nick Jnr website. Paw Patrol
Pattern Pups encourages
memory skills as children
have to remember a
sequence. Paw Patrol Puppy
Pairs encourages memory
skills, while Pair Picker encourages matching skills and Balloon Drop encourages
sorting! You could also use this opportunity to talk about the roles of each of the
Pups as we are learning about people who help us!
Suggested app: Sort it Out 1
Tidying up the nursery has never been more fun. Teach
your child about sorting and arranging with this fun,
sorting app. This app helps develop conceptualisation,
visual perception and fine motor skills. With parental
assistance it can also develop language skills.
