A brief insight into how we learn

A variety of creative resources to share with their children based on Halloween

Description

Imagine combining fun with maths and English, then incorporate Halloween into that as well!
That is the goal behind this course; with a range of activities from prime numbers to times tables, word searches to writing a story to images to colour.

The course is designed so that you can just drop into the units which are relevant for you and your child. Some of them you may choose to tweak to make them more relevant to your child’s level of ability, others you will probably use as they are. Hopefully, this course will provide you with some suggestions and ideas to get you started.

With 20+ years of working in/ studying childcare and education I have learned that if we can incorporate a range of resources when we are supporting our children with their learning, we will help them to create different memories, making it easier to recall the information when it is needed.

Furthermore, if we can make it enjoyable, they will be more likely to want to participate. The more they participate the more practice they get. With practice comes ability. With ability comes confidence and it becomes a positive spiral of success.

I hope you enjoy the ideas that this course provides and in addition, more importantly, it also provides you with quality time with your children.
