Homework Information!
**Remember - the following is not compulsory but an opportunity for you to continue your learning at home. This is for each family to decide and use as much or as little as suits them.
Edmodo
We have started a trial of the 'Edmodo' networking tool for schools. This is a way for teachers, students and parents to communicate outside of school hours. I'm thinking that, at this stage, we will use it to keep connected about our Jibboo programme and other homework tasks.
Read the Edmodo presentation, created by some students in the U.S.A. You may want to join us, as a parent. Please email me if you have any other questions.
1. Work on the step not yet climbed
- use the Basic Facts Links blog to practise

2. See Mr Herring for a quick test when you think you're ready
3. Climb one step on our success ladder when you've passed
