Homework



__Typing: __ We have been working on using the computers and improving our ICT skills. Many of the students need to practice typing to gain speed. Check out www.learninggamesforkids.com for some cool typing games to help them learn where the keys are and to memorise this.

__Reading:__  Every night, the students need to read for at least 20 minutes. Ensure the book they are reading is of an appropriate level so they aren't getting frustrated.

 __Spelling:__  Each week, the students have a set of words to learn that directly relate to what they have been learning about at school e.g. the digraph 'sh.' There is a proven way of learning spelling words which is outlined below and we encourage the use of this method.


 * 1) Look - look at the shape of the word and how it is made.
 * 2) Copy - copy the word onto a piece of paper.
 * 3) Cover - Cover the word and try to spell it.
 * 4) If incorrect, begin at step 1 again.
 * 5) <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">Test - on Thursday night get tested by a parent/friend.

The students know what tables they know and which ones they are working on. Any spare chance you have, e.g. driving to school, fire a few tables their way. We all know practice makes perfect!! <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"> <span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
