Building a timetable
Sample of a Daily Learning Timetable
Try to start the day the same way you would if your tamariki were going off to school, then decide on an appropriate time to start their work. Similarly, younger children benefit from having consistent routines and rhythms to their day. Learning from home doesn’t need to happen between 9:00am and 3:00pm. There might be things you need your tamariki to help with around the house like cleaning or laundry, and that is alright, as long as it is part of your new routine.
Top tips to Create a Structured Timetable
Talk to your child and listen to their ideas about how they would like to learn.
Consider sharing responsibilities with other members of your whānau or bubble.
Plan out with your child and whānau what your day or week will look like.
Build in regular times for breaks, fun and to connect as a whānau.
Secondary students may need a separate quiet space and there may be learning opportunities for younger children through everyday activities.
If you have limited learning devices, consider how everyone will share them.

Our teaching team have once again been busy on their class websites. You may have already visited a class website and reminded yourself of its setup. It is certainly a good starting point for students to connect and provide distance learning opportunities.
