Education Scotland newsletter

Leave a comment

Education Scotland have produced a Parents and Carers newsletter called Scotland Learns.

Each week, we will publish ideas, hints and tips for parents,
including learning activities that your child can complete on
their own or that families can do together, a selection of these
are included in this newsletter. You won’t need lots of
resources and the tasks are designed to encourage children
and young people’s creativity. We appreciate that many
parents are also working from home, so lots of activities are
designed so that children can work independently once a
parent has gone over the activity with them.

The first issue includes:

  • Suggested learning activities for literacy and numeracy
  • Ideas to support wellbeing
  • Activities focused on staying safe online
  • Hints and tips for supporting your child to learn at home
  • Advice for engaging young people with autism in their learning

Parents and carers can sign up for further issues
