With nationwide schools’ closures, young people have had to embrace a new routine, while dealing with the stress and anxiety of going through a global pandemic. At Hopscotch, we want to help young people maintain their wellbeing during this challenging time, so we have selected five of our favourite wellbeing and mental health resources for use at home.

Each week we'll be posting a blog, direct from a teacher on the front line, about their experience and challenges they're facing following school closures. The second in the series is written by Lisa Worgan, a Head of Curriculum based in the West Midlands.

Since Friday 20^th March, most students have been at home, learning remotely due to the Covid-19 school closures. Whilst days at school are shaped by a regular timetable, we know that it can be challenging to find some structure when learning from home.

At Hopscotch, we want to help! We’ve pulled together a suggested “learning from home” timetable to help children aged 4-14 (and parents!) manage their study time. We have also included some of our favourite resources, created by teachers or education specialists, to support pupils in this challenging time.

With students at home for the time being, it’s a fantastic opportunity for them to push the boundaries of creative learning. But creativity isn’t resigned to the arts - there’s room for spark and flair within STEM subjects too. To help with this, we’ve rounded up some of the most innovative and exciting free resources for use at home, so that students can have fun whilst learning.
