Tuesday: PowerPoint: https://www.twinkl.ie/resource/ui-l-6-worm-prepositions-powerpoint and use these cards (https://www.twinkl.ie/resource/t-t-2547904-where-is-the-fox-positional-language-picture-cards) to encourage your child to use the language of spatial awareness.
Alternatively, you could ask your child to draw you a picture of a fox (or
man/dog/cat/etc.) in the grass/beside the house/under the log…
Wednesday: https://www.twinkl.ie/resource/roi-l-400-preposition-board-game. Your child says a sentence for the preposition he/she lands on. If
you have no printer, choose 6 prepositions and write them out, giving each one
a number (e.g. 1=over, 2=beside…) take it in turns to roll a dice. If you land
on 1, you need to make a sentence with ‘over’ in it.
Thursday: Treasure maps! Story to begin: https://learnenglishkids.britishcouncil.org/short-stories/the-treasure-map and activity (can be done on the screen if necessary, doesn’t need to

Where is the treasure? Get a lego figure and get your child to give
instructions to take him to the treasure.
