Important update from TheSchoolRun

For the past 13 years, TheSchoolRun has been run by a small team of mums working from home, dedicated to providing quality educational resources to primary school parents. Unfortunately, rising supplier costs and falling revenue have made it impossible for us to continue operating, and we’ve had to make the difficult decision to close. The good news: We’ve arranged for another educational provider to take over many of our resources. These will be hosted on a new portal, where the content will be updated and expanded to support your child’s learning.

What this means for subscribers:

  • Your subscription is still active, and for now, you can keep using the website as normal — just log in with your usual details to access all our articles and resources*.
  • In a few months, all resources will move to the new portal. You’ll continue to have access there until your subscription ends. We’ll send you full details nearer the time.
  • As a thank you for your support, we’ll also be sending you 16 primary school eBooks (worth £108.84) to download and keep.

A few changes to be aware of:

  • The Learning Journey weekly email has ended, but your child’s plan will still be updated on your dashboard each Monday. Just log in to see the recommended worksheets.
  • The 11+ weekly emails have now ended. We sent you all the remaining emails in the series at the end of March — please check your inbox (and spam folder) if you haven’t seen them. You can also follow the full programme here: 11+ Learning Journey.

If you have any questions, please contact us at [email protected]. Thank you for being part of our journey it’s been a privilege to support your family’s learning.

*If you need to reset your password, it will still work as usual. Please check your spam folder if the reset email doesn’t appear in your inbox.

How to teach place value in KS1 (in a fun way!)

There are plenty of ways to teach place value to KS1 children at home that can be fun and engaging. Here are some ideas to get you started: 

Play with building blocks

Activity

Use building blocks or LEGO to represent ones and tens.

How to do it

Stack ten single blocks to make a 'ten tower'. Use single blocks for ones. Ask your child to build different numbers, like 23 (two ten towers and three single blocks).

Make a number line

Activity

Create a number line using a long strip of paper and markers.

How to do it

Write numbers from 1 to 20 (or higher) on the strip. Use small objects like buttons or coins to place on the numbers.

Use snacks for counting

Activity

Use snacks like cereal pieces or grapes for counting and grouping.

How to do it

Group snacks into tens and ones. For example, to show the number 14, make one group of ten and four individual pieces. Let your child eat the snacks as a reward!

How will this KS1 place value activity help your child at home?

This fun KS1 place value activity was created by an experienced primary school teacher and will help your child practise their place value knowledge and identify areas that they may need some help with. They will need to complete the table and put the numbers in the correct column.
