Back to Lockdown?

If your class/school is closing for a while, here are some suggestions for what to teach online, and what to provide for practice at home.

Reception: There are no Home Learning packs for this unit. Please adapt the Year 1 packs. Mix and match with the Reception Play Activities.
Year 1: The Y1 Route map outlines what to teach online, and what to practise at home. The Y1 Home pack provides all Y1 materials needed at home.
