A source close to the star, now a player-coach with Derby County, said: “Like most footballers, Wayne has had a lot of time on his hands and been at home a lot. As well as keeping fit and in shape, he’s been rolling up his sleeves and doing the home-schooling."
“He’s particularly good at maths and science, so he looks after that. He is really throwing himself into it.”
“He already helped the boys with homework but he has now taken it to a new level since the lockdown was enforced. Coleen is very impressed with how he has adapted.”

Pics posted by Coleen on Instagram show her relaxing at home with Wayne and sons Kai, ten, Klay, six, Kit, four, and Cass, two.
In one, Wayne joins in with arts and crafts.
The source added: “Anything creative or to do with English, he leaves with Coleen. Naturally he’s made sure there’s time for a kickabout in the garden with the boys.”
Join our George Cross campaign for NHS staff
We are urging Sun readers to sign a petition calling for our NHS staff to be awarded the George Cross.
We are backing a proposal by Lord Ashcroft to honour our health heroes with the gallantry gong given for acts of bravery that did not take place in battle.
A No10 spokesman said: “The NHS is doing a fantastic job and the nation will want to find a way to say thank you when we have defeated this virus.” SAS hero Andy McNab added: “The award of a George Cross would show an emotional appreciation.”
We are asking our readers to please sign the petition below.
