Parents and Carers suddenly find themselves as home educators with schools being closed indefinitely by Coronavirus.
Being stuck at home is not great on the best of days especially if your children are a range of ages and abilities.
This is where the Internet has come into it's own with tons of resources on You Tube and other platforms.
Celebrities and organisations around the world have responded to the crisis by providing activities to keep your children learning at home.
This list is not exhaustive with new activities and live events popping up all the time.
Some of websites are traditional "home education" while others are more interactive.
Learning needs to be fun so relax you don't have to cover everything.
Just enjoy the experience of exploring and learning without the pressure of exams or tests.
Have fun!
