Information for Families
Please note that any work suggested by SBC is a menu to choose from rather than a list from which you must start at the beginning and work through. There are no deadlines for the work and pupils can work through it at their own pace. Family well-being is of upmost importance during this crisis and we do not wish to add any undue stress to pupils, parents or families.
SBC Suggested Activity Timetable
It may be worthwhile to set up a daily timetable for your child/children to include time for work, play, outside exercise and leisure along with meals and household chores.
We understand that children may get up much earlier, and go to bed much later than is suggested below! This is simply an example:
9:00am-10:00am Out of bed, play and get dressed
10:00am-11:00am Breakfast, tidy up and household jobs
11:00am-1:00pm School work
1:00pm-2:00pm Lunch and play time
2:00pm-3:00pm Outdoor exercise time
3:00pm-4:00pm Creative time - reading, art, dance, music, drama, baking or more school work for older children
4:00pm-5:00pm Free play time or limited TV
5:00pm-6:00pm Project time: a time to work on a specific project like writing a book, painting, a specific project in an area of interest etc.
6:00pm-7:00pm Help prepare dinner and tidy up
7:00pm-8:00pm Family activity time - board games, limited TV etc.
