Reading at home
It is very important that children continue to read as much as possible while staying at home. At the moment, some websites are offering free access to child friendly texts. You may need to register using an email address and it only takes a minute.
There are also some very good websites, which children can use to find out about our world and events. Here are a few to look at;
Colourful ‘Stained Glass’
Our Key Worker children have been busy over the Easter holidays, creating rainbow effect ‘stained glass’ patterns to place in their windows. We are very impressed with the results, they will look amazing at home.
#ThisIsPE home learning
The Association for Physical Education are working with educators to support parents to deliver PE related activities at home. The aim is to continue the development of pupils fundamental, cognitive and physical skills. Videos are posted at 1pm on a Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
You do not need to be in PE kit and don’t need sports equipment. All the videos will use things that you can find around the home. To view the videos, visit the youtube playlist below #ThisIsPE
