As part of our arrangements during the current spell of exceptionally hot weather, we have created a Heatwave Home Learning Menu for our children to enjoy at home.
The menu includes a range of fun and engaging activities inspired by summer and the sunshine, including:
☀️ Becoming a weather watcher
💧 Carrying out simple science investigations
🎨 Getting creative through art and design
📚 Reading and storytelling activities
🧘♀️ Taking part in mindful movement and relaxation
🌿 Exploring nature safely outdoors
The activities are designed to be flexible and enjoyable and are entirely optional. There is no expectation for children to complete every activity. Instead, we encourage families to choose a few activities that appeal to them and enjoy learning together in a relaxed way.
With temperatures remaining very high, our priority is that everyone stays safe and well. We encourage all families to:
- Drink plenty of water throughout the day.
- Stay in the shade during the hottest part of the afternoon.
- Wear lightweight clothing and sun hats when outdoors.
- Apply sun cream regularly.
- Take time to rest, relax and enjoy some quality family time together.
We hope our Heatwave Home Learning Menu provides some inspiration and helps children stay curious, creative and connected to learning while keeping cool.
The menu can be downloaded below.
Thank you, as always, for your continued support and understanding.
