Other Ideas
Maths at home
It really helps with maths for things to be practical and not abstract (in your head). Always have things for the children to count, move, touch. So they can see the numbers/ quantities.
Phonics at home
At this difficult time simple things like playing a game, watching a fitness video, mindfulness, watching an age appropriate film, will be just as valuable and reassuring for your children.
If you find any other websites and apps that are worth sharing please do let me know.
Best wishes I am thinking of you all
