\"\"<\/a><\/span>It has been quite a year and everyone is looking forward to a well deserved break. But let’s be honest, the excitement of being on holiday soon wears off and children will quickly start complaining that they have nothing to do and that they are bored.<\/span><\/p>\n

So, once again, we are proposing a Summer Challenge for all of our students with some interesting and challenging tasks that will help the children develop further. We are sorry to disappoint some parents – these tasks are not more of the same stuff that children have done at school throughout the year. In many ways, they are much more important.<\/span><\/p>\n

As parents, we encourage you to take an active role in this Summer Challenge and support the children to accomplish the tasks. In some cases the children will need some help and guidance, but the whole point of the challenge is that the children engage in these activities and become accountable for their own learning. Please keep safety in mind at all mines and adhere to any COVID-19 related regulations when completing the tasks.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Here’s how it is going to work…<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Download the “Summer Activity Challenge 2021<\/a>“. <\/span>The children will need a scrap book in which they will document their adventures. The scrap book will serve as a diary and proof that the children have actually completed the task. Co-incidentally, it will also make for a beautiful keepsake which you and the children can cherish in the future. There are numerous educational benefits to scrap booking check out 2 interesting websites here <\/a>and here<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

It is up to the children how\u00a0to decorate and present the tasks they complete in the scrap book. There are plenty of ideas online, particularly on Youtube. The important thing is that for ever task that is accomplished, they document this in the scrap book. They can stick photos, drawings, decorations, tickets, leaflets or they can\u00a0write and draw directly in the scrap book. Here is one video that gives you an idea\u00a0about scrap booking. Remember, it doesn’t need to be anything elaborate but of course make it worthwhile.<\/span><\/p>\n
