How can I create a fun learning zone for home education?
There are lots of things you can do to ensure your home is a place where your child can have fun and learn at the same time, including:
- Have a dedicated âlearn zoneâ in the house, using posters or charts if youâre short on space.
- Create a cosy corner for reading, keeping childrenâs favourite books within reach. Curl up and chat about what youâve read together.
- Be creative with crayons and paper, arts and crafts, even if it doesnât come naturally!
