Suggested Home Learning Schedule
We would like this experience to be a positive one for all members of the family and have therefore put together a rough schedule for the day that allows children to experience a range of different learning opportunities. Some children may only be able to work for 20-30 minutes at a time and therefore you might need to do short burst of learning rather than a 1-2 hour session. You will need to gauge from your child when to stop and have a go at something else.
During this time we would advise limiting ‘screen time’ to no more than 1-2 hours a day maximum.
Each child has a copy of this schedule in their learning packs:
