Kids at home? Don't worry we've got you covered
As you know, in order to help limit the spread of COVID-19 corona virus, the UK Government made the decision to close all schools from Friday 20th March. For the foreseeable future all children must stay at home unless they are the child of a key worker or are a vulnerable child. This is to help slow down the spread of the virus and flatten the curve, ensuring that we help protect the most vulnerable members of our community.
Now parents are faced with keeping their kids motivated and entertained for what could be up to 12 weeks, or maybe even longer. Some of the schools have sent the children home with work to do whilst others are continuing to teach via online portals and streaming, however either way it can be pretty overwhelming for parents who all of a sudden have to home school their kids.
You may not know but our Taekwon-Do instructors
have experience tutoring English, maths and science from primary through to A-Level. We thought it would be helpful to pull together some of the resources we've found useful over the years and will help keep the kids occupied whilst they are stuck at home.
Please feel free to share and let us know if you think we've missed something!
