This year I am determined to give more time to Saxon, he will be five in July!
He is quick with maths, is keen to listen to stories and has shown some interest in his letters.
Up to an hour daily
Number and literacy activities – daily, 20 to 30 minutes total
Faith – daily, up to 10 minutes
Story time – daily, up to 20 minutes. This to include history, geography, science and nature picture books as well as immersion in great literature.
I am also wanting to include nature study and art and craft activities each week.
