This week we have started to read more news articles. Usually these are difficult for young students, but we are using articles set at just the right level for us. We've read about several situations relating to migration. It was particularly interesting to have access to world news in easy English.
Alongside this reading, we have been thinking about how best we can learn and remember new words. There are several ways to do and it involves so much more than just using Google Translate. Please ask your child to show you how they do this.
In order to develop our thinking skills we have been watching news clips without the volume on. In this way we focus carefully and discuss what we see. We watched a news report about the difficult situation for migrants arriving at border crossing into the United States. There were so many questions that arose and our understanding of migration was really enhanced.
The BBC website for building speed in typing is really enjoyable. Please keep using it and let us know about how far you get with it.
It would be very helpful if you would please encourage your children to watch news and current affairs programme with you. There are many things they won't understand, but that can be an opportunity for discussion and further inquiry.
