Homeschooling Help

We used to watch them on Sky Arts, but I cancelled Sky a month ago.

[Edith Bacon]

We cancelled Sky once. It lasted about five days until we were back on the phone, begging them to take our money

[wendy james]

We do have Netflix and a Now TV Sky Sports* subscription, as well as Disney+ coming, as well as access to various apps on the smart TV/Now stick, so we'll not suffer too much.

*Ha, for all the live sport we're getting atm. P has said we should cancel but we're on a deal for 12 months and who knows if it will still be available when we want to start it up again. Plus they literally took the money the day before he said that.

I've just seen on FB that the WestEnd production of Wind in the Willows is available too.

Wendy I saw this and thought of your two

This is only available if you're in France sadly.

[wendy james]

Bummer. I’m looking at ARTE.tv though (about to join an emergency conference call so haven’t fully grasped its free).

[ParisGal]

Oh :( Makes sense though. I already watched a bit of Manon and then sent it to my friend in the UK. How helpful of me

[Kenickie]

I went on their website and it just said it's geoblocked to France. Fair enough I guess.

If anyone is looking for exercise options our local sports coaching group is putting PE lessons for primary school children on YouTube:

This site? https://www.operadeparis.fr/magazine/manon-en-replay

[wendy james]

Yep.

[ParisGal]

Awww :( I suppose it's like the BBC really though, makes sense.

Do the Louvre virtual tours work? https://www.louvre.fr/en/visites-en-ligne

Sign up to a VPN and then you'll be able to stream?

You can also pause sky sports at the moment: https://inews.co.uk/sport/sky-sports-su ... ge-2485337

In the meantime, I would suggest not using sparklebox (sorry) as the man who created it was a paedophile so it is banned in most schools.

Blimey, really? Do you have any links so I can spread the word? Thanks

I have spent the full day making plans for remote learning. It has been incredibly stressful and I hope the children will benefit from all that teachers are doing.

Elvis is desperate to read The Gruffalo and do her set tasks for the week so she’s cracking on. We’ve had a family chat and we’re going to give it a go at doing their school-set work at the weekend (when I’m free to help) and just do self-led learning in the week (when I’m working).

The Shakespeare thing went down well (what we watched - the rest is on YouTube to finish). It’s great how they’ve included props and other ways to add to what is essentially a read through.
