Family Guidelines
Guidelines
Distance learning is new for some of us and learning at home can come with challenges. Here are some guidelines while your child is at home:
Read our Principal's Message.
Plan how you are going to make the best of this opportunity together.
Set up clear routines and expectations - persevere if the routine doesn't work out and adjust your routines.
Have some downtime and rest - reassure them it is going to be okay and give your children attention.
Play outside and set up a fitness track/routine.
How will you deal with the likely extra stress factors and what other help do you need to help you all work through issues?
How will you celebrate successes in your family? e.g. playing nicely, completing a task.
Have a balance of work and play.
Reading Tips
Have family reading times.
Plenty of online resources for "Read alouds" and audio books like Storyonline.
Play board games and read instructions
Writing Tips
Letters to grandparents, teachers or classmates.
Create a scrapbook, visual diary or written diary - it gives a chance for your children to share their thoughts and feelings.
Paint pictures to stories
Maths Tips
Measuring through baking and cooking.
Counting, board games and card games are often useful.
Bake biscuits
