      This is something that I am trying to find out! We think that because some kids are born very early, at least 2 months before they should have been, their brains develop outside of their mums tummy. We think this might affect how some kids do school-work. Maths is a tricky subject we need to pay attention and use our memory, this might be a bit harder for kids to do if they were born very early.
