PLEASE FIND BELOW SOME ADDITIONAL WORK TO SUPPLEMENT YOUR CHILD'S REMOTE LEARNING PLEASE USE THE ATTACHED 10 DAYS OF WORK BELOW. 

Here are five activities that balance fun with subtle learning:

1. The "Great House" Scavenger Hunt

Instead of a simple list, give them a series of riddles or clues to solve. Each clue leads to a household object where the next clue is hidden.

  • The Challenge: Have them create their own hunt for you once they finish yours.

  • Why it works: It builds reading comprehension and logical thinking.

2. Kitchen Science: The "Bread Monster"

This is a great way to learn about biology using pantry staples.

  • The Activity: Mix warm water, sugar, and a packet of yeast in a clear bottle. Stretch a balloon over the top.

  • The Result: Over the next hour, the "monster" (yeast) eats the sugar and breathes out gas, inflating the balloon.

  • Why it works: It’s a visual way to explain microorganisms and chemical reactions.

3. Indoor Den Building & "Reading Camp"

Move some cushions and blankets into the living room to build a high-end fort.

  • The Twist: Once the den is built, it becomes a "no-electronics zone." They can take a torch, a snack, and their favorite books inside for an hour of quiet time.

  • Why it works: It encourages independent play and makes reading feel like an adventure rather than a chore.

4. Create a "Stop-Motion" Movie

If they have access to a tablet or phone, they can use toys (like LEGO or clay) to make a short film.

  • The Setup: Use a free app like Stop Motion Studio. They take a photo, move the toy a tiny bit, and repeat.

  • The Goal: Aim for a 30-second "blockbuster" with a beginning, middle, and end.

  • Why it works: It teaches patience, planning, and basic digital literacy.

5. The "Recycling Bin" Invention Challenge

Empty out the recycling bin (cardboard boxes, plastic bottles, egg cartons) and give them a roll of masking tape.

  • The Brief: Ask them to "solve a problem." This could be building a "mail sorter" for the hallway, a "marble run" down the stairs, or a "periscope" to see over the sofa.

  • Why it works: This is pure STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) in action, focusing on structural integrity and design.
