Activities & Learning at Home

Learning at Home....

 

It's important to not place too much pressure on yourself when it comes to Home Schooling. Your children aren't in their usual learning environment and with the many other changes and restrictions placed upon them, it is completely normal that they don't feel up to doing lots of school work.

Remember, it's more important children and young people feel listened to, safe and loved than to complete lots of school work at the moment. We advise that if you are worried about anything to do with your childs education then contact their school directly. We've put a few links below to some resources that can help engage children in a fun way whilst learning at home.
