About

this Pack
The Teach Starter team has handpicked this learning from home resource pack to include a
range of resources that students can complete at home with the assistance of parents or
guardians in the event of schools being closed or during homeschooling.
Included resources cover the key learning areas of English, Maths and Science, along with
some additional craft and mindfulness activities – all for free!
If a student needs to work remotely, this pack can be sent home with students or emailed
directly to parents and guardians digitally, to allow for students to complete the work
remotely with minimal preparation and supervision.
The pack is designed to allow non-teachers to understand and set the tasks and activities in
a home environment, without requiring additional resources found in a classroom. The pack
can be completed digitally on a tablet/iPad or with pen and paper when printed.

For Teachers
Can I share this pack with parents, students and other teachers?
Of course! This pack has been created specifically to support teachers, guardians and
parents with children who are learning remotely or being educated at home, so feel free to
share it with others.
You can share it by copying the URL in the address bar of your browser, or by clicking on the
envelope icon above to send the link to an email address. You can also download the pack
and email the PDF document to parents who are educating their children at home.
Please feel free to bundle this pack with your own home learning or homeschooling
activities to extend or reinforce particular concepts for your students. You may also like to
add specific activities such as reading, outdoor play, fine motor skills, etc.

For Parents
How can I teach my child from home?
Downloading this free resource pack will equip you with a range of activities to share with
your child while their school is closed or while they are learning remotely from home.
We have provided a helpful table of contents and activity overview to ensure that non-
teachers can use and deliver this pack easily. All activities are age-appropriate, can be
completed in any order, and relate to work that your child has probably already experienced
in the classroom.

 Australian and Aboriginal Flag Collage
Art Activity
Use this art activity when learning about the Australia Day celebration and
the different views of this day for Aboriginal people.

What you need:

• Australian flag template (provided in this resource)
• Aboriginal flag template (provided in this resource)
• pictures of the flags
• magazines
• scissors
• glue

Method
1. Use a picture of the Australian flag and/or the Aboriginal flag as a guide.
2. Search through old magazines. Cut out images of things that have red
and blue shades (for the Australian flag) and red, yellow and black
shades (for the Aboriginal flag).
3. Rip the images into smallish pieces. Ripping gives the edges a rough look
and contributes to the collage effect.
4. Stick the magazine pieces onto the Australian flag or Aboriginal flag
templates in the correct sections, creating a collage effect. Don’t worry if
there are slightly different shades of colour – this adds to the effect.
5. Make sure you can only see white where there is supposed to be white
on the flag.
6. When you are finished, write a small paragraph about what the colours
and symbols of each flag represent.
