Welcome to the special 2020 edition of the Summer Challenge! After the bumpy end to the scholastic year, we are all looking forward to enjoy summer but we should still take all the necessary precautions to avoid any possible further spread of Covid-19. All of this year’s summer tasks can be easily done at home and we are sure that children (and parents) will love the exciting stuff we are proposing. The focus of the activities is on fun, but parents, please do not be fooled. Children will also be learning some valuable lessons but there is no need to tell them! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
We encourage parents 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. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Still not convinced? Listen to what students<\/a>, parents<\/a> and teachers<\/a> had to say about the activity in previous years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n All children will be provided with a new \u201cSummer Tasks Sheet for 2020<\/a>\u201d. You can also find the tasks below, with ideas and links which will help the children to accomplish each one. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The children will need to document their work. They can either do so using a scrap book<\/strong> or else they can create a blog<\/strong>. A blog is recommended for older children (Year 5 and 6). <\/p>\n\n\n\n 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>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It is up to the children how to 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 write and draw directly in the scrap book. Here is one video that gives you an idea about scrap booking. Remember, it doesn\u2019t need to be anything elaborate but of course make it worthwhile.<\/p>\n\n\n\nHow it works\u2026<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
