Key Stage Two



Medium Frequency Words Overview


Teachers should expect many Y4 pupils to have little or no difficulty reading most of the words below. However, there may be difficulties in being able to spell them accurately. Many of these words do not follow a regular pattern and others are easily confused. The list is intended as a check for spelling. It is not intended that teachers should go slavishly through the lists, teaching by drilling, though there is an important place for practice, reinforcement and testing. There are many ways in which these words can be investigated and learned eg through grouping them by meanings, common spelling patterns, sound patterns, locating them in dictionaries and other texts, creating mnemonics, inventing and playing word games, proof-reading and checking them in independent writing. The words are grouped for ease of teaching. A complete list is provided below should teachers wish to re-group them to suit the needs of their classes.



Year 4



Term 1: ask(ed), began, being, brought, can't, change, coming, didn't, does, don't, found, goes, gone, heard, I'm, jumped, knew, know, leave, might, opened, show, started, stopped, think, thought, told, tries, turn(ed), used, walk(ed)(ing), watch, write, woke(n).



Term 2: almost, always, any, before, better, during, every, first, half, morning, much, never, number, often, only, second, sometimes, still, suddenly, today, until, upon, while, year, young.



Term 3: above, across, along, also, around, below, between, both, different, following, high, inside, near, other, outside, place, right, round, such, through, together, under, where, without.

I Look I See Lyrics


I Look I See

I Look I See
I look, I look, I look, I see
I see a world of beauty
I touch, I touch, I touch, I feel
I feel a world around so real
And everything I do
I dedicate to You
Cause You made me
I am for You

I listen, listen, listen, I hear
I hear the words of God so clear
I read, I read, I read, I know
It helps my knowledge grow
And everything we do
We dedicate to You
Cause You made us
We are for You
I listen, listen, listen, I hear

He sent the Prophet to show us the way
He made Religion perfect that Day
Peace be upon him, upon him we pray
Salatullah, wa salamu alyhi

I sleep I sleep, I sleep, I dream
I dream Im in a garden green
I wish, I wish, I wish I pray
I pray to be here everyday
And everything I do
I dedicate to You
Cause You made me
I am for You

I work, I work, I work, I strive
To make something of my life
I seek, I seek, I seek, I find
I find another hill to climb
And everything we do
We dedicate to You
Cause You made us
We are for You
I look, I look, I look, I see

He sent the Prophet to show us the way
He made Religion perfect that Day
Peace be upon him, upon him we pray
Salatullah, wa salamu alyhi (x2)

More Little Mouse Deer Tales




There are three stories about Little Mouse Deer.

In the First, Little Mouse Deer falls into a pit,
but he uses his wits to trick an elephant into the pit too. Then Little Mouse Deer climbs up the elephant and escapes.

In the Second story, Little Mouse Deer tricks a tiger into thinking he is fierce. He tells her that the head of a tiger he has just eaten is in the well. When the tiger looks, she sees her own reflection and thinks it is another tiger.

In the last story, Little Mouse Deer boasts to Gecko about his tricks. Gecko challenges Little Mouse Deer to a race. Gecko tricks Little Mouse Deer and wins the race by using all his brothers and sisters who look just like him.

What if there was educational content for the Nintendo DSi?

What if there was educational content for the Nintendo DSi?


source


Nintendo just announced its latest iteration on the DS handheld gaming device. Called the DSi, it’s receiving plenty of attention from bloggers, gamers, and at least two of my kids (one is a diehard PSP fan, although he’d really just rather have an iPhone and the other is 16 and looks down his nose at mere handheld game systems).

However, a few things caught my eye that might make the DSi a bit more appealing for educational purposes. It has built in wifi (so did the last-generation DS), but now has a built-in web browser and nearly Apple-style App Store. It’s also larger and more capable in terms of multimedia. According to Ars Technica,

The DSi will also come with software allowing you to play with your images and to slow or speed up audio files. While these things may sound more like toys than anything else, it could make the system popular among people learning new languages or practicing playing along to their favorite music. The interface for these features appears easy to use, even playful.

Audiobooks, anyone? Cheap MIDs? Interactive response system? Imagine if a few educationally-minded developers posted free or low-cost educational games on the App Store. Although I have to say that I really see the Android as a serious potential tool for education, this could be another way to get a lot of kids online quickly, especially if the browser and other applications can be spiffed up by motivated developers.
