DIY Schooling Resource - Trello Board

John Griffin

Our good friend, John, loves a Trello board! He knows what he’s doing with one, too.

So, when the news dropped that schools were closing and he found himself with two primary age kids to educate and entertain, he put together this brilliant Trello template for all the parents at a loose end looking for resources to get started with. He says you can copy it and make it your own, or share it with whoever you like! Thanks John!

Thank you, Mr Wicks! This is such a lovely, wonderful idea. It’s also how our family has started every day this week with a fun 30-minute workout to get moving and ready for the day.

BBC Bitesize Maths

Is it us, or is maths much more interesting and fun than it used to be?! Are we showing our age?! Kids today are so lucky to have access to this information and way of learning. When we were kids we had to make do with an abacus and a protractor! ;)

Bitesize is the BBC's free online study support resource for school-age pupils in the UK. It’s designed to aid pupils in both schoolwork and, for older pupils, exams.

National Geographic Kids
