different to that of primary and secondary schools mainly on account of how children learn and develop at that stage. For young children, blended learning will involve play experiences that are led by the child and which follow their interest or ideas.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To support this, ELC settings will signpost play based learning ideas and opportunities for families. There is no right or wrong way to be involved in these ideas but often the best ideas are the ones that are formed around every day experiences such as: baking &amp; cooking, daily routines; being outdoors. It is important that children experience a broad range of experiences between home and their ELC setting, so in a blended learning situation, settings may lend out the resources that children usually play with at nursery for use at home, for example, games, paints, learning objects.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These ideas and opportunities will be shared with families through various media platforms such as: Twitter, YouTube, email or online journals.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In a blended learning situation, it is important that there is continuity of support for children and families, for example, for additional support needs. ELC settings will continue to liaise with partner agencies and services so that support continues, wherever possible.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div
