Optional Half Term screen-free activities.

In case you would like some ideas for activities away from the screen over the half term week, we have collected a few here:

SJS Half Term Bingo - we have created a Bingo style activity grid, with effort stars for each activity.

Lego challenges - can you complete them all?

Growing things - how green are your fingers?

A selection of off-screen ideas

Conversation Cards - some general questions, some questions around screen etiquette for parents and children, and some questions about online safety - we think these are brilliant and well worth discussing at home.

 

School Closure suggested Home Learning

UPDATE: Lockdown 2021 - our online learning has shifted to Google Classroom. Use your Google Classroom login to find all the learning that your teachers have set for you each day. 

We have left the challenges and activities from Lockdown last March (2020) for you to dip into and try if you are looking for something extra or different to fill your days. These could be used if you are looking to fill your INSET or half term days with some learning! 

NSPCC Virtual Assembly - June 2020 (Anxiety and Worries)

The NSPCC has produced a virtual school assembly on 5 June 2020. The assembly, aimed at children aged 7-11 years old and run in partnership with the Department for Education (DfE), features an introduction from Ant and Dec and highlights from the NSPCC Speak out. Stay safe. programme. The assembly focusses on anxiety, including the worries that children are facing during the coronavirus crisis, why they may feel anxious or worried and ways they can be supported.

You can find the NPSCC Assembly here
