Primary Ethics is proud to have offered an online alternative to ethics classes during the Covid lockdowns. As students have returned to school, the need to support families at home is no longer critical. We are considering how we offer Bites in future.
Bites is our series of specially designed bite-sized lessons for students to chew over at home, practising their skills in close listening and ethical reasoning, based on material from our curriculum. Bites for the K-2 age group are designed for students to tackle individually, with one or more family members, assisted by an adult. Bites for Years 3-6 are designed for students to work on individually or with a family group. Each Bite takes approximately 10 to 15 minutes to complete.
