Play and Family Learning ideas

During this time we would encourage you to strike a balance between online learning activities and activities away from a screen. We have started to gather a few ideas here but please tweet us @WallacestonePS with other ideas or links.

Miss McKean has been challenging her class daily with her "Task Master" challenges. If you haven't tried out some of her fun daily challenges please check out the videos on her class Twitter account! Lots of fun to be had!
