Right then, take two of this thread...
I'm a home educator and someone said they'd appreciate a thread on home ed resources for those parents who are considering taking their kids out of school for a while because of the coronavirus outbreak.
My child has always been home ed so I'm not the most knowledgable about the current legalities across the UK of removing a child from school, perhaps some other H.Eers could post below any info which might be useful for parents considering this.
Please also post educational resources, free or paid, which you have tried and tested and found to be useful. I'll start with a few of my faves:
Conquer Maths. Paid. Utterly amazing and goes from Reception level all the way up to age 16/18 I think. It's really useful even if you have a kid in school or after your child goes back to school. Also features times table shoot em up game which is like space invaders but with times tables!
Khan Academy. Free, good alternative to Conquer Maths and covers many other subjects as well as just maths. The English Grammar videos are quite funny.
Crash Course videos on Youtube. Free. Aimed at older children and teenagers, parents of younger or middle sized kids may wish to check individual vids through first to make sure they are age appropriate. A treasure trove of learning. DS likes the History of Gaming playlist.
IXL - paid. We use this a lot, it follows the UK national curriculum and covers Maths and English up to year 13.
BBC Bitesize. Free. An excellent site which covers a multitude of subjects although not in any great depth. Intended as a supplement to other learning for kids in school, but very useful.
We also use The Works as a great resource for cheap workbooks for Maths, English and Science. They are good for craft paper and art stuff too at a pinch.
