Home Schooling Resources
Here is a number of useful resources that you may find helpful during your time at home with your children.
Playing Is Important
Play is a vital part of childhood and is essential in all aspects of children’s development. During times of significant change, play can have a therapeutic role, helping children to recover a sense of normality. The International Play Association aim to protect, preserve and promote a child’s right to play as a fundamental human right.
With this in mind they have produced a guide to Play in Crisis (please find the guide below): support for parents and carers. It is full of information and ideas on how to support your child’s play during these unprecedented times. The document covers a range of areas from the importance of play to managing play at home, play that involves difficult themes and things to play with around your home.
