Finding time to support each other and do things together will be invaluable for all the family. The importance of positive, face-to-face interactions cannot be underestimated.

Things that you might consider doing as a family…

• Read together and discuss what you are reading (see reading section)
• Support your child with a Personal Interest Project - maybe even do your own!
• Talk with your child about their academic work.
• Exercise together! (see exercise section)
• Write quizzes together and do them as a family (your son will show you how to make a kahoot!) 
• Play a board game together (chat as you do it - it isn’t about the board game...)
• Play a computer game together (don’t worry if you aren’t any good at computer games - just do it together and be ready to laugh at yourself!)
• Cook together! Our Food & Nutrition team have put together a whole batch of resources- try a breakfast or a dinner, or do a snack and some baking… see our recipes below. These are tried and tested with students across KS3 and KS4!
