SLH Year 1 Week 1
Here are our Week 1 activities for Year 1 children, all on a fun Seaside theme! We've chosen a collection of our resources - some old, some new - designed to keep kids busy and sharp throughout the summer.
First - Maths!
Practice your maths skills while colouring in and playing a dice game - these activities make learning fun! We've including a skip counting dot to dot which provides practise for all the times tables, but suggest that the 2, 5 and 10 versions would be appropriate at this stage.
