Home Learning Activities
For those families wishing to continue supporting their child’s learning at home during the summer holiday the class teachers have prepared some resources.
PHYSICAL ACTIVITY
We are extremely aware that should your child be off of school – physical activity is essential in keeping well and healthy.
GoNoodle: Obviously nothing is going to be a full replacement for good, old-fashioned fresh air and time outside. But if the weather isn’t cooperating with your social distancing plans and is forcing you to stay inside, give GoNoodle a shot. Recommended by teachers who use it in their own classrooms, GoNoodle is a great resource for getting kids up and moving with fun, colourful, musical games and activities.
