At the outset of lockdown, few of us could have predicted how we would cope with the restrictions on our freedom and 24\/7 care and education of our children at home. \u00a0 It is not easy! The pressures on parents just now are immense. \u00a0Some days do not go to plan, however good our intentions. \u00a0You are doing a really good job in really tough circumstances. \u00a0From the wonderful posts on our Learning Journals and the messages we have had from parents, we know that your children are thriving- learning so many new things every single day! \u00a0From amazing outdoor adventures to interesting things learned in Screen Time, the amazing range of learning experiences you are giving your child is helping them grow in knowledge and confidence every single day. \u00a0Do not worry if you don\u2019t post on the Learning Journals. It is a step too far for many! \u00a0There are umpteen pressures on your time- especially if you are also working from home! \u00a0We are going to emerge from this enforced \u201ctogether time\u201d with a very special group of children who have a real sense of family. \u00a0If your child is happy, healthy and enjoying being with you, you are doing an amazing job!<\/p>\n

I have been sent a couple of interesting links from colleagues which I\u2019d like to pass on. \u00a0The first is live music concerts from Live Music Scotland. These are aimed at different audiences but there are quite a few for pre-5\u2019s.<\/p>\n

The second is only for parents looking for ideas and activities linked to the early years curriculum. \u00a0It is an in-depth outline of the how\u2019s and why\u2019s of pre-school education and includes Birth to 3 as well as 3-5. It\u2019s a great, comprehensive guide to home learning and is well worth a read. \u00a0However, only read it on a day where you are feeling on top of things. \u00a0No one could do all of it, all the time. \u00a0It does give some great ideas for activities though and is laid out in a poster style which I found made it easy to read.<\/p>\n
