School is out for summer but there might still be something for your children to learn. There are a lot of fun things to learn during the summer and lots of great ways to maintain studying during the summer holidays.
So here are some examples of fun things to do with them at home during summer holiday.
- Encouraging them to read books, leaflets or even newspapers
- Teaching your children how to cook
- Getting them into music
- Doing spelling games together
- Practicing Timetables with them everyday -make it fun. Check out Timestable videos on YouTube
Go to the cinema
When it comes to keeping on top of literacy, your children won’t just learn from books. Films are a great way to learn about narrative and can encourage your children to get creative, either by writing their own stories or writing about the stories they’ve experienced.
Try getting your children to write about their favourite scene from the film you took them to see, or rewrite a scene the way they would do it. You could even ask them to write a review of the film, which is a good way to work on both their writing skills and their analytical skills, which is very useful for essay writing.
Not only can the skills you teach children over summer be useful in their everyday lives, both in school and beyond, they can actually help them put the academic skills into practice. For example, cooking can help with maths.
Remember that children don’t have to stop learning because they’re on holiday.
I hope this helps 😊
Enjoy your summer break
