How much work are your kids doing?

Just interested in how much your kids are doing? Mine aren’t coping well so we’re probably doing 2 worksheets a day and some reading but mostly they’ve been playing, bit of drawing and tv.

Are you following a timetable? Are your kids actually doing work or are you teaching them anything?

Thanks

Now it's holidays, there's a lot less work coming from school but irritatingly it's all 'build a motte and bailey castle out of cereal boxes' stuff, which I'm sure they think is fun but actually requires more of my participation than the maths worksheets did.

In general though, we did a bit each morning until they got fed up and then left it. I'm figuring we'll catch up on anything we didn't get through by doing the odd worksheet now and again over the holidays. Both schools have sent emails saying 'don't stress about it' though so I don't think they're expecting much handed in. I think it's more to give any keen beans something to do. Some kids really like the structure of it, apparently. (Sadly, mine prefer the structure of reading endless comics and seeing how many times they can run each other's toes over with their scooters before one of them cries.)

This is all primary though. Appreciate it might be a very different picture for secondary kids.
