Maths 

This week we have practised lots of counting backwards from different 2 digit numbers.

Pick a number between 1-100. Count backwards all the way to 0.

Then you could try and play this game... (choose the option to count back)

This week’s task…

In our Computing lessons this half term, we have been thinking about how to stay safe when we use devices that are connected to the internet (laptops, tablets, phones.)

We know that many children in school use these devices and it is important that they learn at an early age to talk to you about what is safe to use or not.

The children have already used some resources from this site, but please look through them again and talk to your child about the videos/stories...

You can also find lots of resources here on our school website to support your own knowledge about how to keep your child safe online...
