Happy New Year all! I have a 5-year-old in reception and would like to do some extra reading,writing and numeracy activities at home. I've heard of 'school run', 'twinkl' and TES but are there any other apps and/or sites I can access/subscribe to for online activities/printable resources? Please help, I'm not very creative when it comes to making resources for little ones! Many thanks, Tea.

We have used phonicsplay ALOT especially in reception on the advice of ds?s reception teacher. It really helped with his blending. It is divided according to the phonics level they are at at school so it is well synchronised. It helped massively with his blending.


I also got handwriting sheets from the school run which were useful.Now in year1 there is mathletics which he loves and also gonoodle which is more of a mindfulness and movement app.


I have found phonicsplay a godsend, my son was a reluctant reader last year and this has helped him overcome some huge hurdles and he loves reading now.

    • I remember seeing something a few years ago on TV about a fox that was actually biting through people's shopping / takeaway food bags.  It was situated in an alleyway.  Not in London.  Very interesting in how the the urban foxes brain development been affected by their surroundings.   Not an exact quote for Darwin.  It's the adaptable that survive / not the strongest or the most intelligent.   I would be worried if a fox came close me.   
    • Driving down Lordship lane around 2.45pm today saw a v sick looking fox walking in and out of the crowd. 
    • I know I'm a bit premature but don't want to forget through too much Chrisntas cheer! Southwark Council Christmas trees recycling arrangements 2025 - bit worrying for the future that they're emphasising the free bit. "We’ll collect and recycle your real Christmas tree for free!  Trees should not be taller than 5ft. You should chop any taller trees into smaller pieces. Remove all decorations and the pot or stand and recycle it by: putting your tree with your garden waste containers on collection day requesting a free collection if you do not have a garden waste collection  taking it to our Reuse and Recycling Centre [43 Devon Street, SE15 1AL open 08:30-16:30 Mon-Sun] If you live in a flat you must leave the tree: outside on the kerb visible for the collection crew not in a bin store" I'll add the link to the collection booking service when it opens on 22 December. 
    • Most homes in East Dulwich / Good Green ward have collections on Tuesdays or Wednesdays. So no changes for them this year.  But for those few local homes with collections normally on Thursdays or Friday, with Christmas, Boxing day happening on Thursday and Friday any blue, brown or green bin collections will be delayed by two days. So Thursday 25 December collections will be on Saturday 27 December and Friday 26 December collections on Sunday 28 December. For New Years day those Thursday collections will be on the Friday 2 January and those with normal collections of Fridays that will be on Saturday 3 January. To double check when your Southwark Council rubbish, recycling, food waste, garden waste collections will be taking place please please check here - https://services.southwark.gov.uk/bins/lookup
