Reading:

Children are required to read for at least 20 minutes on their own and with an adult every day. Children should always choose a chapter book and a book of their own choice which ranges from comic books, poetry to non-fictions to help them develop a love for reading.

Here are 11 tips to help your child with reading:

Scratch-Computing: Scratch is a free programming tool targeted for primary children to start learning programming and to develop computational thinking, creativity and problem-solving skills!

This is a time to find out about their family and traditions they follow.

Can they sort their family members into height order? Can they compare their heights?
What is the height difference between the two of you?
What is the longest object in the kitchen?
What is the shortest object in the kitchen?
Can they count in 3’s?
Can they count in 8’s?
Can you add all your family members’ weight together?
Can you convert all your family members’ height into m and cm?
Can you name all 7 continents?
Can you name all 5 oceans?
Can you name as many shapes as you can?

Conduct a research about the country that you are from or a country of your choice.

What is the population there?
What are the main languages spoken there?
What/Where is the capital city?
Can you draw a map of that country indicating the important cities?
Which continent is it part of?
How big is that country?
What are the traditional cultures?
What is their famous dish?
How far away is it from London?
Have they been there before? How was your experience visiting that country? What would you recommend other travellers visiting that country to do/see/eat?

After they have gathered enough information, make a travel brochure for that country!
