  • Plan A Mixture Of Activities Throughout The Day

    9. Create an insect home in your garden
    10. Create a home movie!
    11. Plant a sunflower and watch it grow
    12. Grow your own vegetables, potatoes are super easy to do!
    13. Board Games
  • Creating A Snack Shop
  • To stop the kids from eating you out of house and home and learning about the value of money!
    1. Create a shop with a range of items, healthy snacks and a few treats.
    2. Give them a money limit for the day to spend as they wish, healthy items for cheap and unhealthier items at the more expensive end of the scale!
  • Internet Resources Are Your Friend!
    1. There is a brilliant YouTube channel which has been recently launched by a group of teachers in London, a new story read aloud to them every day giving you a few minutes to catch up on those emails! Discover here the YouTube channel.
    2. Twinkl are giving away a free month’s membership! That’s a whole month of free educational resources and worksheets suitable for a wide range of aged kids in a variety of topics! They also have a fab home-schooling support page! Home schooling is really hard! Hats off to those teachers which do this as a job!
    3. Carol Vorderman, from countdown has setup a great site: The Maths Factor which is offering resources for kids 4-12, which matches the national curriculum, what’s better is now its FREE!
  • Relax
  • We know that now more than ever is really stressful, if you get 20 minutes of education in during the day, that is fine. Don’t put too much pressure on yourself, think about yourself, take a step back, have an hour to yourself during the day just to relax, let the kids play outside, play on the Xbox and breathe.
