In this guest post Shelly and her kids try five fun maths practice worksheets from Activity Village that show practising maths doesn't have to boring!
We continue to add to our Maths Stage by Stage pages with 4 new sets of "addition within 20" worksheets, designed to introduce a variety of strategies to the kids - counting on, add by making 10, using a number line etc.
Our new "Number Chunks" puzzles are fun for kids who are just learning to recognise their numbers, but are also great for older children, who have to look for certain "chunks" of numbers within the number grid.
We've taken 6 of our favourite Chinese proverbs - ones that we think that will provoke children to think and perhaps serve as a starting point for some interesting discussions - and turned them into photographic posters.
The 6 Chinese proverbs that we chose for our Chinese Proverbs posters contain so much wisdom that we thought they would make a great "copywork" exercise.
Snap, Memory, Go Fish - just 3 suggestions for games that you can play with these new sets of Game Cards. We've really gone to town with these.
Our handwriting worksheets are one of the most popular downloads from Activity Village. Finger tracing pages allow the youngest children to have a go. Word tracing pages provide more practice.
There's a definite theme behind this week's two new colouring quotes - C'est la vie and Que sera, sera!
Yes, we've gone dominoes crazy!
The PyeongChang Winter Olympics start on 9th February and I know that many of you are already getting prepared. These fun story paper pages for all the winter sports taking place are such a fun way to get the kids involved before the Games begin.

There are lots of printable jigsaws available on Activity Village, and in this guest post Shelly describes a couple of ways she has enjoyed using them with her children.
... and enjoy some favourite poetry with the kids!
We've been topping up our collection of resources on Robert Burns, Scotland's most beloved poet and the reason behind Bu
Liven up your lessons or your home with our first new collection of Year of the Dog printables - including fun early learning jigsaws, drawing or writing frame, story paper, bookmarks, posters and even a printable lucky money envelope to cut out and fol
These bird writing pages are useful for all sorts of writing projects and come in both colour and black and white.
Yesterday we topped up our collection of bird acrostic poem printables.
We are building up quite a collection of acrostic poetry printables, including these new bird themed pages.
Perfect for displays or for putting up on the whiteboard, these new photographic posters of Australian animals and birds are a great way to get the kids talking, observing and finding out more.
I chose both these "quotes" because I felt they were particularly appropriate for the new year. If we stop to remember often that "Every Moment Matters" we will almost certainly do more, enjoy more and get more out of life!
