Great news for parents.
While the kids have their Easter break from remote school work at the moment, with lock down lasting until at least May 5, there’s a lot more home schooling to do.
Both my husband and I are still working from home, so between our own work and helping our kids through their own school work, it can all get a bit chaotic and stressful.
Since quarantine was announced I’ve been trying to find any free online resources that I can to help get us through this period and if you’re a parent doing the same then this is definitely another resource to add to your list.
Founder of the Johnny Magory book series, Emma-Jane (EJ) Lesson, is celebrating one year in business with the release of Irish Wildlife Art Collection and Eco-friendly Irish Wildlife Puzzles.
EJ and Johnny Magory are also producing free home-school help on their website with free explorer guides, Wildlife Wednesdays and live readings.
Included in the free home-school help is tin whistle lessons, Irish language lessons, an Irish wild life directory, an outdoor explorers guide and even a downloadable QR code nature hunt.
This combined with your child’s online school work from their teacher should create a broad and well-rounded curriculum, adding nature and outdoor play into their usual routine.
There will also be Wildlife Wednesdays each week discussing a different animal and there are currently six videos available to watch.
If your child loves animals I would recommend sticking them on over the weekend for them.
Access to all of these resources is completely free of charge and to browse the home-school help features you can visit the Fun Stuff section or the page dedicated to the Wildlife Wednesday videos.
