There are lots of fun learning activities for all ages to be found online. Some of these are interactive and give time for conversation and thinking.

BBC Teach hosts over 30 recordings of interactive 30 to 40-minute programmes called Live Lessons, originally designed for use in the classroom, featuring leading experts and some of the BBC’s biggest brands and talent, including Doctor Who, Blue Planet Live and CBeebies. 

Why not try out a live lesson or two? Follow up some of the activities in your own creative way and send us a picture of the results!

Science is Fun!

Soon we will be delivering a pack of science materials to your door. There is a booklet for each week and a jotter for your notes, drawings and science investigations/diagrams/mindmaps. You will have to be very creative and improvise some of the resources you need by finding alternatives at home – but I know you can do it!

To help with science at home check out some of the episodes from Bill Nye the Science Guy.  There should be one for most of your booklet themes.

You can also visit BBC Bitesize for clips about each of the topic areas.

Have Fun Investigating!

Keeping fit and healthy, even indoors, is fun and a really good thing to do. Lots of families have been joining Joe Wicks on his YouTube channel as he has been providing a 30 minute PE lesson each day. Go and check this out at The Body Coach TV.

Also BBC Teach has a great website called SuperMovers which is provided in partnership with the Premier League to help children learn more about physical fitness in a small space.

Have fun moving and grooving!
