EastSide Learning has been supporting learning throughout the school year. This includes supporting training for school staff, providing extra support for pupils for GCSE and literacy, and helping parents get more involved in their childrens schools. But our work doesn't stop when schools break up for summer.
We have worked alongside local community groups to keep children entertained and engaged with their learning throughout the summer. We have also involved their parents where we can, so that families can enjoy learning together. We've been to W5 for astronaut training, Castle Espie to learn about ecosystems, Belfast Zoo to get up close and personal with nature's weird and wonderful! Some of the children have become expert coders, rocket scientists, city-planners and more!
There is evidence that without enriching summer experiences, children lose a lot of of what they have learnt over the summer - we have been doing our best to compensate with these free, accessible learning visits.
