NCETM Learning in lockdown

NCETM have added two new areas to their website, designed to support teachers and parents/carers of primary and secondary school children throughout the period of school closures. All the resources are free to access and do not require a login.

Most lessons are 15 to 20 minutes long, each ending with suggested follow-up tasks. The current plan is for three new batches of five lessons each to be added every week.

Staying active

• Do something active each day for 30 minutes.
• Indoors try Joe Wicks on YouTube or Supermovers BBC.
• Go on the trampoline, walk, play football or catch, learn to skip with a rope, ride your bike or scooter if you have one. Play with a bat and ball.

Once or twice a week:

Art: The Paisley leaf

The paisley leaf is an art motif from India.

Can you find a paisley leaf pattern at home? You can often find them on scarves, bandanas, ties and other kinds of cloth.

I found the pattern on a quilt I made.

Can you see it near the top and at the bottom?

 Have a go at drawing a paisley leaf.
