Structure of Your Day

At school we have a morning session, a middle session and an afternoon session. These sessions are broken up by breaks (recess and lunch). It is a good idea to structure your child’s learning day at home the same way. Start at 9:00am, have a break at 10:00 (crunch and sip – fruit or vegetables and water). At 11:00am (for recess) and another one at 1:00pm (for lunch). These times are a guide only.
