During the holidays I made up these boxes. They consist of practise games that the children are familiar with or mostly familiar with. Many are aimed at maintenence of basic facts and patterning, some strand work which we did in the previous term and place value.

Differentiated Learning. Children are partnered in small groups of three. These groups consist of two children working at Stage 4 and one at Stage 2/3. The reason I have done this is to get the upper stages to be able to support the lower stage child. If I placed all the 2/3 children together many of the tasks would be unaccessible independently. My top group who are working at Stage five have their own boxes and these children have games and practise which is appropriate to the stage they are working at. I have tried to included as many "hands on" activities as possible as this age group responds well to these.
