Home Learning and Activities

Our home learning offer

Summerside Remote Learning - School Offer.pdf

During this difficult time, Summerside staff will still be dedicated to helping families and children to have some learning activities. We understand the needs of parents to keep the children busy and entertained and minimise the screen time for their own benefit.

We are also asking every child every day to:

use some of the mindfulness activities that we have been sharing at school to have some quiet time at home.
carry out a daily act of kindness. This could be making a card for someone, telling someone they love them and why, calling a relative to ask how they are, sharing toys or helping someone else
spend time on chores at home

Email your photos of home learning to twitter@summerside.barnet.sch.uk and we will tweet them!
