Learning at Home Resources

Welcome back everyone!  We hope you have had a restful (if very different to usual) Christmas break.
We realise that the latest news and changes have thrown everyone’s planning up in the air but we hope the Learning Outdoors Support Team can provide you with support for your Learning at Home planning and delivery.
Learning Resources on the EAC LOST website
Here on our LOST website, you can find resources for pupils both Learning at Home and Learning at School across all curricular areas.  You will find lesson plans and activities listed according to CfE level and stage.  We are continually adding materials and home learning suggestions.
The Learning at Home pages provide links to both stand alone activities and to IDL topics based on texts suitable for learners working from Early to Second Level.  The activities in each IDL topic have been specifically designed so that they can be completed using items commonly found at home and, though the topics are based on picture books and novels, many of the activities can be completed without using the texts and, where possible, we have included links to video readings of the books.
IDL Topic Resources available for Loan
We have a limited number of copies of the IDL topic novels which we can lend to classes working from home. If you are working at a current or previous COACh school you will already have 10 copies of each story in your COACh resource boxes.
EAC LOST Newsletter
Our Newsletter goes out every Wednesday.  You can subscribe using the link here: Sign up
