Families from Roman Road Primary School have been taking part in some wonderfully mindful crafts with Family Learning this half term. Families have been spending time together taking part in gentle crafts that help to lower stress, improve concentration and provide a creative outlet for emotions. Take a look at the wonderful items made by parents and children.

Family Learning have had a great morning working with families at Lingey House Primary School. We made a great start to our number sacks course by looking at methods the children will use in maths during Key Stage 1. This week we designed our own number sacks bag and number cards. Each week we will make a new maths resource to use at home and add it to our bag.
