Typing Skills

This year, our class is diving into the exciting world of typing! As we become more tech-savvy, learning to type efficiently is an important skill that will help us in school and beyond.

What is the Home Row?

One of the first things we’ll learn is the "home row." This is where our fingers will rest when we’re not typing. The home row keys are:

Left Hand: A, S, D, F
Right Hand: J, K, L, ; (semicolon)

To help us remember, we can feel the little bumps on the F and J keys. These bumps are like our guiding stars, helping our fingers find their way back home!

Correct Fingering Position

Here’s how to position our fingers:

Left Hand: Pinky on A, Ring on S, Middle on D, Index on F
Right Hand: Pinky on ;, Ring on L, Middle on K, Index on J

Our thumbs will be ready to hit the space bar whenever we need it!

Why Is Typing Important?

Typing is a skill we’ll use throughout our lives. It helps us communicate better, complete schoolwork faster, and even explore new ideas online. Plus, being a good typist can make writing projects more fun!

Practice Makes Perfect

To become great typists, we’ll practice regularly. We’ll start with simple words and sentences, focusing on accuracy before speed. We can’t wait to see how much we’ll improve!

Happy typing, everyone!

Grandparents' Day

Grandparents' Day was a truly special occasion at our school, filled with love, laughter, and cherished memories.

A huge thank you to all the parents who contributed the delicious baked goods—it was a real treat for everyone and added to the festive atmosphere. It was heartwarming to see generations coming together and celebrating the importance of family. We are so grateful for the wonderful community spirit that made the day such a success!

Christmas Wreaths

Fourth Class got into the festive spirit this week by creating beautiful Christmas wreaths to decorate their homes. Using oasis as a base, they carefully arranged holly, ivy, and greenery, finishing with a dusting of snow spray for a magical touch. The children showed fantastic creativity and focus, designing stunning centrepieces to brighten up their kitchen tables over the holidays. Well done to everyone for their hard work and festive flair!
