Below you will find a range of activities for your child to choose from while at home. Your child may do as little or as much as they like. Children may require some adult input to complete the activities. Although, after an initial explanation, children should be able to complete each task/step within the activity independently. Most of these activities are knowledge-based and your child may have some understanding already so it is a great way for them to maintain their knowledge while away from in-class learning.
