For those of you looking for a little some additional home learning activities for your child, the following list of educational websites that are free to access:

Virtual Museum Tours

As museums and other places of interest are closed for the time being, we have found that many are now offering free online tours and exhibitions. We would encourage you to (virtually) visit as many of these as possible.

Click here for a list of the museums from all around the world that are currently offering this service. We really think this is a great opportunity to see some amazing exhibitions that you might not otherwise get the chance to enjoy with your children.
