A couple of weeks ago this all seemed like an improbable situation but here we are. One of our amazing teachers has pulled together a list of resources you can use to keep the learning going either in a lockdown or in self-isolation. They aren’t designed to be a replacement for any work your school has set but a general guide to what is useful out there!
Any questions, comments or thoughts are welcomed. We want to keep this list updated so please pass through your suggestions.
Here are all the learning providers offering free subscriptions at the moment: https://kidsactivitiesblog.com/135609/list-of-education-companies-offering-free-subscriptions/
