I have two primary aged children (5&7). Before the Easter holiday a little bit of work was set and that was manageable.
Now they know that schools are closed for the foreseeable our school has just sent out a big list for each year group to get through weekly with daily activities for maths and English (less so for reception - just reading, letter formation and a few bits).
My DD is a summer born year 3, and more of a creative than academic child. She’s also very sensitive and quite young for her age (sucks her thumb still and very into princesses/role play). Whenever we do work, as soon as she gets one thing wrong she starts to cry and wants to give up. She also is not very good at listening when I try to explain the task - I lose my patience and then feel guilty.
I don’t want her to fall behind but it seems very stressful for her (& me), & does it really matter at this age?
She misses routine, friends, GP’s and school so much this just seems to be another stress that could be avoided.
