Preparation for your First Holy Communion
|
Hopefully, it wont be long until the children get their Big Day out and make their First Holy Communion. It really will be a very Special Day. I have uploaded the prayers that will help prepare your child for the day. Try and practise saying the prayers with your child as any times as possible over the summer.

Additional activities or links you may find useful:
Skip counting– please encourage your child to work on their skip counting. Children can jump/hop/skip/clap etc while practising counting in 2's, 3s, 4s, 5s, and 10s.
Children can also use their large 100 square that they have in their folders. Choose a number to start skip counting and mark each number on the 100 square. Look to see if there is a pattern.
