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.

    • You are right . It isn't going to change him for the better. Sending such a negative message is potentially counter-productive. Trump is narcissistic, arrogant, unpredictable, spiteful, divisive, and dishonest, with a penchant for a total a disregard for democratic norms.  He is one who bears a grudge so there's a case to be made for not offending him as he could react with a bunch of  adverse actions  such as  deciding to increase import tariffs on UK exports to the US.      
    • Unless we don't fly I don't think we can be too critical of the authorities.  
    • In 2016 London City Airport began using concentrated flight paths. When there's a predominantly westerly wind, incoming aircraft approach from East London (north of the River). When there's a predominantly Easterly wind, incoming aircraft approach the airport from the West: circling through Forest Hill, Dulwich, Vauxhall, Tower Hamlets, Docklands. This latter flight path affects many of us in South East London. https://www.london.gov.uk/who-we-are/what-london-assembly-does/questions-mayor/find-an-answer/london-city-airport-concentrated-flight-paths The planes going into City are often below 2,000 ft, so very noisy. Sometimes we have incoming Heathrow at the same time, flying higher. The early flights that I hear e.g. 04:30 are incoming to Heathrow. They are scheduled to land at 05:30 but are 'early'. Apparently the government allows a percentage of flights to arrive early and late (but these are now established as regular occurrences, informally part of the schedule). IMHO Londoners are getting very poor political representation on this issue. Incredible that if you want to complain about aircraft noise, you're supposed to contact the airport concerned! Preposterous and designed solely in favour of aviation expansion.
    • Yet another recommendation for Jafar. Such a nice guy, really reliable and fair. He fixed a problem with our boiler and then incredibly kindly made two more visits to replace a different part at no extra cost.
