This week’s homework

Numbers in the environment

Can you look for numbers in your house or when you are outdoors over the weekend? Which numbers can you spot?

• Ask your adult to take a photo of you next to a number in your environment and stick it in your homework book. Eg. your door number.

(Note to parent: If you don’t have access to a printer you could help your child to draw a picture of themselves next to a number in the environment eg. a bus with a number on it)

OR

• You might find numbers on other things like a ticket or a shopping list that you could also stick in your book. (please don’t fill any more than 2 pages in your green homework book) [/dropshadowbox]
