HOME SCHOOLING & EXERCISE
#KeepMovingSuffolk
NEVER UNDERESTIMATE THE POWER OF EXERCISE ON YOUR CHILD’S EDUCATION
We know that supporting children that are learning at home isn’t easy.
In fact, we know it’s really hard.
That’s why we’ve produced this resource, to help you build exercise into your child’s daily routine.
No matter what your child’s age, there is something here to help.
We hope you like it, but most of all we hope you find it useful.

CHILDREN’S RESOURCES
Whilst we’re having to stay at home due to coronavirus, parents and carers may be worried about their children’s development and the effect of missing regular school or nursery.
No one expects parents to act as teachers, or to provide the activities and feedback that a school or nursery would. Parents and carers should simply do their best to help children and support their learning while dealing with other demands.
And remember, you’re doing a great job!
