When you call out "one," the child must jump one step down.  When you call out "zero", the child must stay on the step they are on. Do this with numbers 0 - 5 until your child reaches the bottom of the stairs.  2. Using toy cars or dolls, call out a number from 0 - 5. Your child must show you that number of toys. Write numbers 0-5 on cards and hold them up instead of calling out the numbers. Your child must count out and show you the number of toys that matches the card you are holding up.  Busy at Maths (Small homework book):  Page 25 - 29 (one page per day) Other activities: Jigsaws  Helping with baking and cooking

I’ll try to please you, Father, bless me through this day. Amen. And we end our school day with our evening prayer:  ​God our Father, I come to say, thank you for your love today. Thank you for my family and all the friends you gave to me. Guard me in the dark of night and in the morning send your light. Amen.
