Kia ora ,
It's a bit of a strange time right now, isn't it? We hope you and your tamariki are doing all right. Many of you will be starting learning from home next week - and our friends over at Sparklers are here to help with Sparklers at Home!
As part of our new All Right? campaign Getting Through Together – Whāia E Tātou Te Pae Tawhiti, the Sparklers team have kindly rewritten twenty-three classroom activities for home use. These include everything from how to talk to kids about Covid-19, to simple ideas for staying grounded, feeling good, and juggling homework and learning during our time spent in our bubbles.
The team have also put together a handy DIY home learning planner for tamariki to create themselves. This might be particularly useful for getting them into a routine for the next wee while - and it's great for adults, too!
The full suite of activities can be found here on the Sparklers website. We hope they'll support you and whānau to keep learning, and to look after your wellbeing at home during this time. For regular Sparklers at Home updates, be sure to follow them on Facebook and Instagram, and if you're a teacher - you can also join their closed group on Facebook for shared tips and tricks.
Sending aroha from afar,
The Mental Health Foundation
