IN THE EVENT OF A SCHOOL CLOSURE – IDEAS TO SUPPORT LEARNING
School closed? There is no need to stop learning!
Here is a list of ideas to support learning if/when the school has to be closed:
- Shopping – work on adding, subtracting amounts, multiplying or even dividing: if a pack of 6 costs 90p, how much would one cost?
- Time: how long does it take to tidy a room? If you got 3 minutes TV for each minute tidying, how long would you need to help in the house to be able to watch the whole of your favourite movie?
