Home Learning Resources
Parents / Carers / School Community,
We want to minimise the impact this will have on your child’s learning. In addition to the resources we have sent home, we have put together this bank of ideas to ensure your child will continue learning and building on their understanding whilst being away from school.
As you can see, not all approaches have to be digital.
Please note that not all content has been quality assured.
