Zoom lessons for reception

[Minnie6078]

Ok so am I being unreasonable to thing that having a full day of zoom lessons each day from 9-3 with a break for lunch is just to full on for 4 year olds? Lockdown is bad enough without having to force my child to sit at a laptop all day (it's just not gonna happen) also looking after my newborn and being stuck in the house! The only thing that kept last time was being able to get out for a walk, watch movies, read books, bake etc? Am I being unreasonable to thing that that would be much more beneficial than bloody zoom lessons.

4 year old has attention span of a knat, baby screams bloody murder unless being rocked or pushed in pram and I worry I may need sectioning by the end of this lockdown.

Yes I know I need to suck it up and we have got to get on with it but I think this lockdowns gonna be the one to push me over the edge!

Did I mention I have PND too :-(

Your update isn’t at all the same as your original post. The sessions aren’t compulsory, you don’t need to be available for every single one.

How is it not? The full day is structured around being sat at a laptop from 9-3.15 minus 2 short breaks and lunch? This includes 4 zoom sessions and then work on Google classroom? We haven't been told it's not compulsory just to be logged on for 9am tomorrow. Just seems a lot and limits ya massively to not being able to get out etc. Plus I'd have to supervise and assist with the majority of work as DD doesn't know how to use zoom or Google classroom

having a full day of zoom lessons each day from 9-3 with a break for lunch is just to full on for 4 year olds?

It works out as under 2 hours, and that’s if they do a full half hour of input during each session.

9-3 is 6 hours.
3x30 mins is 1.5 hours.
Huge difference.

Schools have been told what to deliver, you just have to press connect then leave child to watch the class.

Clearly the stuff in between will need some help/facilitation from you, but most likely it's not all stuff to do online.

Yes it's tough, but there is a pandemic don't you know.

Better busy than dead?
