The Covid-19 has left everyone in uncertainty. We don't know when this will all come to an end. All we do know is that we have to keep ourselves and our family safe.
So the kids are off from school. Most schools have provided online classrooms. The teachers send a timetable every morning of what the day ahead looks like. This included when they can have a break for lunch. Most of the days end by 2pm, where they can plan what they would like to do next.
Some kids are easy to manage and are willing to go ahead and do their work as it comes. Some kids like mine need the extra motivation to get things started and then they carry on. And some kids need you to sit there with them the whole time while they do their work.
Try to get their school work out of the way. that way they have all the free time to do as they wish if they finish their work quickly enough, which is motivation for them. Where as, when they get longer breaks there work seems to never end and it drags on through the day.
Nursery kids mostly have videos to watch. These videos should include but are not limited to phonics, numbers and drawings. it should encourage the kids to play along and learn to write some of the words and numbers down. Maybe do some drawing and colouring. This will keep the kids busy and make sure they dont forget what they have laready learnt in school. These videos will also give you ideas on how to keep teaching them through the day.
Reception to year 6 have lessons according to their year group. Every day their timetable is set out with the subjects that are going to be taught to them for the day. This will include English, Maths and one or two other subjects. This time gave me a chance to see were my child stands in his study. This is a chance for you to see what stage your child is studying at, and help them study to become better. Either tutor them yourselves or get them the help they may need.
After study time is over the kids need to blow of some energy. For different age groups this is different. For my kids (one 8 and one is 4) we do a P.E lesson with Joe wicks https://www.youtube.com/user/thebodycoach1 every morning 9am. we then start with study, with a lunch break. After study time we have some playtime. My son plays xbox for a while and daughter watches some fairy videos. We then play some other games, dodge ball, table tennis, make playdough, noughts and crosses, hang-a-man etc.
There are some memory games you can play with the older kids like we went to the super market. To start with you can use the Alphabet in order and then to make it more difficult mix it up a little.
We cant go out of the house but we need to make sure we keep active so that we don't get other illnesses and obesity, high cholesterol and diabetes even kids are not prone to these illnesses. so please keep the kids active and eating healthy. We can only try to make the best from what we have. Lets keep each other motivated and pass on other ideas
