Absence+Activities


 * Long Term Absence Activities **

This page has been set up so that if your child is away for an extended period and homework is required that this will be a starting point.

These events might be for scenarios like swine flu where people are asked to put themselves into isolation but may not be sick directly. These activities may be done on their individual pages on just as a paper & pen activity.

The children should all have some understanding of the types of activities shown here.


 * For holiday work... //I would strongly encourage you to focus on maintaining a diary of the events, where you have been. What they were like... focus on feeling and the experience! Alongside this capture as many photos and video clips so that these can be made into a powerpoint, video or other form of presentation that they can work on when they return. This is the type of presentation that will last a lifetime!//**
