Good morning p2, here is your home learning grid for this week. Please only do what you can 🙂 I will be updating active learn, sumdog challenges and education city activities throughout the day today. Again if you have any questions of queries please contact me through the blog or my twitter account @missbutlersps. If you wish to share children’s learning with me, again this can be uploaded here or to my twitter page 🙂

As always, thank you for your continued support 🙂

week 3

Good Morning everyone,

This morning I took part in an online IDL training – this was designed for parents but it has given me an insight into what the children see from their end. I have taken notes during this meeting – I thought it might be a good idea to share these with you to refer to if you experience any difficulties using the program.

• Use the IDL website – this has a resource tab which has a parents guide. This guide has links to youtube videos to aid with using the program.
• You have to use the program through google chrome, other internet servers will freeze and cause some issues.
• There is a new ipad app- IDL2mobile it has to be the 2.0.3 version
• If using an older ipad (below 1os 10) it might not work. IDL recommend using a laptop rather than an ipad.
• You will not be able to use a mobile for idl
• make sure the microphone is turned on, you wont be able to complete the lesson (particularly in literacy) if this is switched off.
• If you have headphones please let your child use these. It will help to take the distractions away
• Any messages from the teacher will pop up on the right hand side of the child’s home screen.
• If a child has a dyslexic diagnosis and have a preferred background colour to make reading easier – they can change this through the colour tab on the home screen.
• spelling book tab has 3 learning modules, its not commonly used
• typing book tab – revision for using the keyboard
• literacy / numeracy tabs will take the children into their next lesson
• no need to sit with the child, they can complete this independently.
• Assistance button can be used during the literacy lessons, you need to make sure this button is switched off, if it is not switched off you will not be able to move to the next lesson
• if there are any issues with the program freezing / not progressing through a lesson and you have followed all the points made above. It is likely to be a software issue so is best to get in touch with idl themselves.
• This program incorporates new learning and revision
• Teacher can see how the child is progressing through the learning, and their time on each day. Parents will not be able to see this.

I hope this helps, I am new to IDL as well and I found this really helpful.

Mr Tennant has asked me to share some of his P.E. lessons with you. I think I might give it a go myself!

Good Morning,

I just want to say a HUGE thank you to everyone who has managed to engage with the online activities. I have been blown away with the progress this week. If you are managing to do any work from the packs, please also share this with me either through comment on the blog or through twitter. I would love to see your work, especially any character descriptions you have managed to complete.

I have updated the reading books on active learn, I hope you are enjoying them and are developing your super comprehension skills. I will attach a copy of the super her comprehension questions here for anyone who may have misplaced them.

Here is this weeks home learning grid. Again if you are able, please share your learning with me.

I have been taking part in the daily Joe Wicks workouts and hope some of you have been managing this as well. If so, please share with me.

I miss you all and hope to see you again soon. Stay safe p2!

Miss Butler

Good afternoon p2! I hope you are all managing to stay safe and healthy.

Here is a copy of this weeks learning grid, if you can I would love to see some pictures of your tasks (I know some people have managed to send me some on twitter). You can also upload pictures to the blog for everyone to see. I will post each weeks learning grid here for you to access.

I will also try to pop as many fun and educational activities onto twitter as I can. Again these are only suggestions, no need to complete these daily – they are just some fun activities to keep the children going through this time. for anyone who does not have a note of my twitter account it is @MissButlerSPS. There are some lovely step by step disney drawing activities on there just now.

Stay safe everyone! week 1 grid
