Inspiring learning at home

| 0 comments

As we move into the summer term and continue to educate many pupils at home the amount of resources to support and inspire learning at home as exploded. In the previous blog post I shared information about two national resources that are launched tomorrow. As well as these there are many other resources provided by many people and organisations that can be used to inspire and connect our children. 

Here are just a few of the creative activities and challenges that I have come across:

#stayathome art task by artist Bob&Roberta Smith @bobandroberta (Twitter) 

Bob&Roberta tweets short creative challenges to get people being creative using short videos on twitter.

You can see the most recent one here.

 

People then share the outcomes using #stayathome

 

#hometasking by Greg Davies and Alex Horne from the TV programme #Taskmaster

Alex Horne sets a creative and lateral thinking practical challenge for anyone to have a go at. 

You can see all the tasks on the YouTube channel here.
