It costs money to run a free website: our server costs alone are £400 per month. Last year we had 40,000 visitors to the site from whom we received only £40 in donations. We are not currently receiving any other income. At this rate, we will run out of money in the next few months and the site will be forced to close.
Please make a minimum donation of £5 to keep the site going. Thank you

| Activity/strategy name and materials required | How to do the activity | Key principles for doing the activity and comments |
|---|---|---|
| Drawings Drawings of houses and stick man families | Draw pictures of houses with windows and say 'Look...this house has 10 windows...it is larger/bigger. Draw stick man families and say 'Look...5 children here - this family is larger.' | Avoid working on larger with a contrasting word (such as smaller) until the child is confident with 'larger'. Contrasting concepts taught together can be confusing for the child. Once the child is confident with both larger and smaller (from work in separate activities on separate occasions) you can incorporate both concepts in this activity. |
