I am emailing these because we have been studying NZ Birds for the last four weeks.There are enough activities for about 4 weeks below...I recommend you look at completing 3 activities per day in total from all these provided during this isolation period.However do not put pressure on yourselves to 'keep up' as these times can be challenging The letter/sound for the week is 'Pp' for parrot so brainstorm things starting with this sound - kids can draw & make plus practise writing the letter 'Pp' and simple words starting with 'Pp'. Count things, make shapes, write a simple family story together. Play games, backyard sports, cook kai/food together. In addition to the basic activities for learning I have set for our class, take a look at this fantastic list of 89 awesome activities: https://www.theparentswebsite.com.au/super-list-great-ideas-kids-home/ Interaction and engagement is key.
