Don't forget to wear your favourite football shirt!
Space Race
This is a very fast driving game in space. The Space Race tournament happens on Thursday. You will fly a spaceship and try to be the fastest student in the school.

Do this before Tuesday!

Learning with Online Videos
Leo
When I don't understand my maths homework, I always watch online videos. I usually watch them on my phone on the bus home. The best online teachers make me laugh. Sometimes, there is a problem. The website shows me other things. I start watching funny cat videos instead of my maths lesson! I forget about my homework for a long time. Next time, I must be more careful.
Sara
Science is sometimes hard for me to understand. When this happens, my older brother sits with me. We find a good online video together. I really love videos with lots of colourful drawings. They make the difficult lessons much easier. While we watch, I always write important words in my notebook. I never stop the video to do this. My brother helps me understand the hardest parts before we finish.
Tom
I use online videos to help me learn English. Some videos are very long, but they are great. When the person in the video says a new word, I stop the video. I repeat the word many times to practice my speaking. Sometimes, I still don't understand the lesson after watching it. When that happens, I talk to my school teacher the next day. She always explains it perfectly to me.
Answer Key & Explanations
7 C - Reason: Tom says, "I stop the video. I repeat the word many times to practice my speaking." Text B uses a negative trap, saying "I never stop the video".
8 A - Reason: Leo says he watches videos "on the bus home", which means he is travelling.
9 B - Reason: Sara says "my older brother sits with me", and a brother is a family member.
10 B - Reason: Sara says "I always write important words in my notebook" while she watches.
11 A - Reason: Leo says he gets distracted and starts "watching funny cat videos instead of my maths lesson!"
12 B - Reason: Sara explains that she loves "videos with lots of colourful drawings", which means pictures.
13 C - Reason: Tom says "I talk to my school teacher the next day" if he still doesn't understand. Text A mentions an online teacher, which is a trap.

Tablet Tips for Students
The Folder Plan
Do you have too many files on your school tablet? You should make a big folder for every subject, like Maths or History. Inside these, you can make smaller folders for each school year. This helps you find your new work fast. It is also important to look at your files every Friday afternoon. You can delete the old pictures and documents that you do not need anymore. This gives you more space for your new homework.
The Colour System
Are you always looking for your science project? You can make your tablet easier to use with colours. Most tablets let you change the colour of your folders. You can choose red for English and blue for Science. Then, you can find the right folder in a second! You should also put all your apps into groups. Never leave single files on your home screen. A clean screen helps you think better and study faster when you do your homework.
The Cloud Trick
Sometimes, digital tablets break or get lost. If this happens, you can lose all your important school work. To stop this, you should always save a copy of your files online. We call this 'the cloud'. When you save a document, always type the day and month in the name. This helps you know which homework is the newest. Do not just name it 'homework'. Also, when you finish a big project, you can easily send a link to your teacher.
