Did you know cooking with your children is a great way to improve their maths? So, this #pancakeday why not get them to help out with the measuring and weighing? Want to challenge them further? Ask them to work out how to halve or double the amounts! #everydaymaths

Being able to read isn't just essential for day to day tasks, it's also known to have a host of other benefits - including boosting happiness & health! For more info about the benefits of reading, check out BookTrust's website bit.ly/48RQS77 #InternationalDayofHappiness
