Let us teach your children:

A weekly webcast, featuring our founder Hadi Partovi and special guests

A weekly activity or challenge

Options for beginners, experienced students, and even students without computers

Tired of studying? Take a Code Break!

Computer science is super fun for kids, because it is creative and playful. Whether it's solving a puzzle, coding art, or designing an app, computer science helps students learn by exploring rather than memorizing.

Computer science is foundational to all fields of study, but since many schools don't offer it yet, this could be a unique chance to support your child in a fun new learning opportunity.

Parents: Sign up to receive each week's Code Break:

Or, follow us on Facebook or on Twitter.

The weekly webcast: Wednesdays at 10am PT / 1pm ET, starting March 25

Tune in with students to watch members of the team behind Code.org, including our founder Hadi Partovi, teaching different computer science concepts. To get the conference link each week, sign up with your email above, or add Code Break to your calendar.

Remember – The Sensory Stories featured in my podcast are HERE (and also free!)

Here are some of more Pete’s Special Stories!

Sir Pranceabout and the Dragon

Join noble Sir Pranceabout as he takes on a cantankerous dragon! This story is designed to get the listener to use their noodle as their thinking skills powers will be tested to the full!

Gobbin’ Hood and his Merry Phlegm!

Disgusting! Gobbin’ must best the evil King John in a spitting match to win the hand of the fair Maid Carryon. Seriously, one of the most disgusting things I’ve written!

Dimwit Dwight on Bonfire Night

Meet Dozy Dwight, an absolute plum who ignores every single rule in the Firework Code. Things will not end well for this bonfire berk!

An awful presentation that will be upgraded soon so people can enjoy Dwight’s suffering in glorious HD!

‘Twas the Day before Christmas!

See what Santa gets up to before he leaves the grotto on Christmas Eve.

A nice gentle Christmas story this one and one to get you in the mood for Christmas!

The Story of Easter

The story of Jesus Christ’s last days, think Jesus Christ Superstar on a budget. A tricky one to do sensitively, but I think I just about managed. However, to my eternal shame, I DO rhyme “Jesus” with “30 silver pieces” Pizzas? What a hack!

Beat the Covid Blues

I wrote this story to give parents and carers ideas of what to do with their young person at home, to beat the pesky Corona Virus blues. It went super viral (no pun intended!) and was translated into Icelandic and Welsh – cor!

Puberty Monsters! A story some of the misconceptions of puberty. Do you REALLY grow hair all over!?! More appropriate for higher learners who don’t take things literally

Naughty Nora and the Easter Bunny

One Easter night, as the Easter Bunny makes his rounds, he notices his eggs going missing as soon as he leaves them. Where are they going and who is the mysterious egg thief? You may be surprised!

I’m Farticus!

A REALLY disgusting story about the most flatulent gladiator you’ll ever meet. Will this farty fighter prevail or will he literally blow his chances?

Like a bunch of unruly teenagers, my stories have ended up stropping about all over the web. You’ll find some here (in the Sensory Stories tab) and a bunch of them are on the EQUALS site: https://equals.co.uk/whiteboard-room-pmld-sensory-stories/

This amazing resource comes from Alice N'diaye.

I have put together a selection of over 30 picture books that children and families might find helpful at the moment. They support the key elements of social and emotional learning and, as learning happens best when children see themselves, I have tried to be as inclusive as possible. I have also included additional resources; songs, sketches, shorts with similar themes and aims.

The bulk of the material came from CBeebies and Sesame Street (via YouTube) which are definitely worth exploring if you haven't before.

Please note this was created, quickly, for use with pupils and their families for digital story-times during school closures or to support PSHE delivery at this difficult time. I have used YouTube links to enable equity of access; I hope authors and illustrators are okay with this. I am sure that many readers will be inspired by what they read and will buy a book or two if they can. Any suggestions of additional books (with digital version) or resources will be gratefully received. 😊

Right now, everyone is in need of indoor activities for kids that scream SIMPLE. It's one thing if you have time to prep and shop, but in most cases, that just isn't possible. So how do you keep the kids occupied without a ton of effort? These must-try activities for kids at home rely on just a few common household supplies.

Must-Try Indoor Kids Activities!

BEST INDOOR KIDS ACTIVITIES

When situations arise like a pandemic, snowy or rainy days, some other major event, or even a too-hot or too-cold day, you may find extra time on your hands at home! We're here to help. Many schools are also canceled this week, so earlier, I shared amazing and FREE resources for school at home with STEM.

Now I want to share some big-time fun indoor activities for when you aren't fitting in schoolwork or if you have multiple age groups home and you need to keep the younger kiddos busy while the older kids work on lessons.

These kids' activities are great for a wide range of ages. There are indoor activity ideas for toddlers and preschoolers to teens. Your kids will never be bored again!

START WITH SIMPLE INDOOR FUN!

Set up an obstacle course around the house with couch cushions

Movie under a fort with pillows and blankets and popcorn, of course!

Turn on a dance party with your favorite playlist of music.

Decorate cupcakes (I always keep a box mix and frosting on hand).

Play laundry basket basketball with rolled-up socks.

Clear off the table and play board games.

Listen to a good book while you curl up under a blanket (or do a read aloud).

MORE INDOOR ACTIVITIES FOR KIDS

Here's a quick checklist of supplies that would be great to have on hand for some of these indoor activities. I bet you have most of these supplies in your house already. There are even fun, FREE printables included too!

Dear Educators,

The events over the past few weeks and uncertainty about what is to come are unprecedented, but it is a period that we will get through together as a community, as we always do. Whether you are directly or indirectly impacted, we know that COVID-19 is placing a significant strain on the ability of educators to reach their learners, causing much stress for schools and libraries, as well as for children and their parents. World Book has been a partner supporting the education community since 1917, and we are here to continue to support you today and through these challenging times.

For over 100 years, our missions have been aligned. To further support you and your remote learning efforts, we are providing all of our valued educators with access to additional Pre-K to grade 12 learning resources through April 30, 2020. To gain access to these additional complimentary resources, please .

We created to support you, your team, parents, grandparents, caregivers, or anyone using our resources remotely. To further support virtual learning, next week we will be launching Wizard, an adaptive learning resource for math, science, social studies, and language arts. This resource can help augment teacher and parent efforts by:

Ensuring that kids retain content taught earlier this school year, and

Providing teachers and parents the opportunity to assign new learning topics and to monitor students' progress on each topic, ensuring that they are learning and mastering standards-based content.

When you click to gain access to the additional complimentary resources, you will automatically have access to Wizard when it becomes available next week, without any further action.

If we can do anything more to help in your efforts, please do not hesitate to contact us. Our hearts and thoughts go out to everyone in your community.

Best,
Geoff Broderick
President, World Book, Inc.

Advice and guidance for all year groups.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
These are unprecedented times for schools who are now needing to support home learning. Educators, teachers and education companies are coming together in a shared goal of keeping learning going throughout the Coronavirus pandemic.
With this in mind, we think one of the best contributions we can make to support everyone through these uncertain times is sharing what we already know about teaching maths outside of the traditional classroom.

Third Space Learning has been teaching children maths online for over 6 years now. Our one-to-one maths programmes take place online with tutor support, but central to the learning experience are the teaching resources we provide for all classes and pupils at primary school, not just those who require the one-to-one tuition.

Online Learning Is Not Enough

When it comes to home learning, as any Headteacher or Senior Leader knows, it's not enough to just provide an online learning equivalent. Not only does the quality and quantity of online devices and computers at home vary hugely, but parents will also have varying capacities in their time or confidence to keep children going.

So, to help your parents get the most of the free resources we know you will be providing them with, we've brought together the following collection of guides, advice, tips and additional teaching resources, all centred around teaching maths. Every blog post contains ideas to keep children busy and engaged in maths at home and they've all been written with parents in mind.

We recommend adding a link to this page on your own school website to provide another source of support and guidance for parents on their home learning journey.

Free Home Learning Resources

As part of Third Space Learning's provision for primary schools we have an online Maths Hub of thousands of KS1 and KS2 maths resources , many of them linked to the White Rose Maths scheme. Our teachers have been busy compiling categories of those most suitable for distance learning.

Here's the full list of free home learning resources, including home learning packs, maths packs, daily practice and lots more. We will be adding to these resources regularly so to stay up to date please be sure to register for your free Maths Hub account here .

Maths At Home: What Parents Should Know

You may be surprised both by how much they know about some aspects (ask them about partitioning!) and occasionally by how little (who knew the difference between area and perimeter was so tricky to grasp?). The following guides will reassure you that it's all normal, but there are specific things you should know and can do to help your child with maths at home .

The child's journey through school

Every child's introduction to the world of education is shaped and defined by the physical environment. Children need a space where they feel safe and have a sense of belonging.

School life is really in full swing in our house. Mad dashes to get out the door on time, constantly checking we've got everything in her book bag, ironing uniform, polishing shoes, constantly refreshing Tapestry to see what she's up too (what a wonderful invention that is!) - its actually been really lovely. Mainly because she was so ready and I can see she benefiting from it greatly. Something we're really working hard on at home is her writing, being the one of the youngest I feel like anything extra we can do at home is only going to help her further and at this age, they love it!

Over on Pinterest, I have been scouring wonderful resources that we can use to help aid her learning and I thought I would share these with you in a series of blog posts. In this particular post, I will be sharing some amazing writing printables that you can use with your own little ones. Being a teacher myself, I want to get Darcie into the habit of doing "homework" and try to make it something we do as a family. In reality, it can be so difficult as life is just so busy, but we're trying to do a little every day. Even if it's just at breakfast or dinner, a little something to keep her ticking over.

So here are a few fabulous free printables that I have discovered over the last few weeks...

For the dino fanatics, keeping writing and learning fun with a variety of activities to help fine tune writing and fine motor skills.

Keeping it simple with an upper and lower case tracing sheet.

A fantastic resource which you could do once a day.

Another simple yet fantastic resource for your little ones.

Fine tuning handwriting won't be a problem with this mammoth amount of free printables!

This resource helps guides children with their writing by providing directions on how to the move the pen when writing a particular letter.

Another letter tracing resource which includes picture tracing also.

A handy resource to help you guide your children when tackling numbers. Talking it through as they write really helps them to remember how to form letters and numbers.

A great place to start and help with fine motor skills.

You can see more over on my Pinterest board here.

Do you have any tips for helping your little ones practice their writing skills?

Parents and schools need to communicate what are the current learning goals of individual students. If EYFS (early years) or SEND, we advise educators and parents to discuss as soon as possible the differing stages of self-isolation and towards school closures.
We advise that a minimum of English, Maths and PE are considered up to Secondary age - and then a realistic timetable of curriculum (based on each student and their home environment).
Agree timetables and limits, encourage home schedules for learning and be flexible. Remember that people are not well, self-isolating and experiencing tension and anxiety.

Parents need to be engaged in the home-learning process. We would advise this is more than a Newsletter and links, but a transparency of approach from settings to encourage and engage your communities in learning at home. Be clear from the outset of whole school approaches (networks, whole school contact for example assemblies etc) and how homes can contact and discuss things with school.
Engage existing parent networks (social media etc) but also understand that not all homes will engage in this way / not all teachers will be available due to their own circumstances in these difficult times.
School leaders use key teachers such as year-group leads / tutors (secondary) and class-teachers as much as you can to inform your decisions from the educational side. Parents are encouraged to reach out to schools points of contact, ask questions and generally educate yourself on education around home-learning.

Disruption to exam sessions have not yet been confirmed. Keep in mind that everyone is in the same boat - and it is important to focus on the present as well as the future.

How can I help parents to keep to a routine if school is closed?

School closures or self-isolation can be difficult when children are used to the structure of the school day. Here are some great ideas to help parents to maintain a more structured routine while their child is home from school. It contains ideas for a daily routine and activities to do within each slot which cover all the areas of the early years framework. It may help to tell parents that these are just ideas and every child is different - the key to success is being flexible and finding a routine that works for them.

What can I do with my early years child if their school closes?

This resource can help you to build some structure into your day and help your child to continue their learning if they are absent from school due to school closure or self-isolation. Remember, however, that play is still the most valuable thing you can do with your children, and children will be constantly learning while they play.

How can parents maintain a routine when self-isolating?

Many children will find school closure or self-isolation a challenge as their daily routine changes. Parents can help with this by building some structure into the day so that the child knows what to expect and can continue to learn. Parents should always remember, however, that every child is different and that flexibility is the key. Young children learn best though play and exploration, and providing opportunities for these will be the most beneficial thing to do.

Advice and some links for home learning from the BBC.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
All schools in the UK closed their doors on Friday, and there's no timetable for when they might re-open.

Parents, who may need to work and juggle childcare, will have to fill the gap.

While no-one expects them to replicate school, there is plenty of online help to stave off boredom.

Will schools provide the resources?

If your school already puts work online, using Google Classroom or similar software, it is likely that this will continue.

Secondary schools generally make more use of this than primaries, and older pupils are more likely to be in the routine of checking it and completing work. They are also more likely to have their own laptops.

Some school are requesting older children follow their existing timetables, with some active lessons, involving Google Hangouts and virtual classrooms, and some passive lessons, where children get on with work independently.

Each school will have its own system: some will continue to post lessons on Google Classroom daily, others less frequently.

Online systems usually allow for children to submit work and have it marked, but again that will depend on individual schools.

What about other resources?

Lots of schools subscribe to websites such as MathsWatch, which director Ken Smith says is experiencing a surge in activity.

"We have been contacted by more than 100 schools looking to join in the last few days and we have four times the traffic we normally have as there are so many teachers on the site creating homework," he said.

Parents are asking how they can access it, but currently it is not available to the public.

Mr Smith said he had considered offering it free to schools that have yet to join but has decided that it "would not be fair".

"If we were to offer it free, it would slow the system down too much," he said.

The website has already added extra processing power in order to cope with increased demand and is ready to add more as the service surges next week.

Mr Smith, a maths teacher for 34 years, has some simple advice for parents who may not have access to online resources or even laptops or tables.

"Buy a text book, go back to basics."

Award-winning app SirLinkalot uses animations to teach children clever tricks to improve spelling.

It has the backing of lexicographer Susie Dent and has just announced that for the duration of the coronavirus outbreak it will be available free to parents and schools.

What other free resources are there?

Schools are likely to send out recommendations along the lines of these, to an Essex-based parents' WhatsApp group:

BrainPop - offers animated movies on topics in maths, science and English

Tynker - offers coding lesson for kids

Creative Bug - offers craft lessons, from knitting to jewellery-making, drawing and origami

Are there any places that cover the curriculum extensively?

BBC Bitesize offers lots of resources that are clearly divided into subject and age categories, and the broadcaster has promised to offer lots more in the coming days.

YouTube's Free School offers a range of videos looking at subjects as diverse as the US constitution, coral reefs and the solar system.

Twinkl has just offered free access to its resources for a month and is providing a simple guide for parents to use it.

And the organisation behind the Ted talks has a division called TED-Ed, full of "lessons worth sharing" from teachers around the globe.

Does online learning work?

Many educationalists were arguing long before the coronavirus crisis that the school system needed drastic change.

This is a time to put new ways of learning to the test, thinks Andy Salmon, the creator of the SirLinkalot spelling app.

"Online is the way forward. You have to get into the child's world to inspire them, and that is online."

But like the school day, it is important to establish a routine, says Sarah Dove, a teacher who works online with children who cannot attend school.

"The key is finding out what works for you as a family, but have a delineation between home life and school. Don't spend all day in pyjamas. Come together for a mindfulness session rather than an assembly and do topic-based work, too. My daughter and I will do the Egyptians next week."

It's not all work...

Remember that while learning is important, at this time of unprecedented uncertainty, so are family activities, such as having fun and getting out of the house (where appropriate).

The National Trust is making its grounds free to visit so that families can get fresh air, while there are plenty of virtual tours of museums, such as those offered by Google Arts and Culture.

"Play board games, learn an instrument, bake together and let children use apps like Zoom or Skype so they can stay in touch with their friends," advises Ms Dove.

Netflix or other streaming services can be used innovatively, by watching the old movies you loved from your childhood.

Encourage reading - World Book Online has just made their collection of 3,000 ebooks and audiobooks available for free for children to access at home.

Most importantly, keep talking, especially about the future and how much you will all appreciate normal life when it resumes.
