For more home education resources, go to the Countryside Classroom Home Education Hub. We are also posting weekly blogs until mid-July highlighting a range of resources on a particular theme. All resources were originally written for school use, but are equally suitable for education at home, while following government guidelines on social distancing.
Do share what you are doing with us, and other home educators, at #CountrysideClassroom.
