Digi Doors Open Round Up 11: Learn From Home Edition!
Keep your kids entertained with this week's edition of #DigiDoorsOpenRoundup!
The doors may have closed on #DigiDoorsOpen this year, but that doesn't mean that the fun has to stop! Each week we will be creating a themed roundup of our digital resources so that you can enjoy a virtual day out from home.
This week's theme is home learning! Are you struggling to keep your kids occupied during lockdown? With ties to the Curriculum for Excellence, these resources can help them learn about art and design, ancient history, home economics and science too!
