ACM, publisher of this newspaper, is partnering with Children's University Australasia to bring you a series of weekly activity sheets. The activities are designed to be fun and offer interesting discoveries along the way. While most children are back at school as lockdown restrictions ease, others are still spending days at home. We hope these ideas will provide entertainment and opportunities for learning. You could put this page aside to use in the next school holidays!
