Speis acti: STEM/ICT:
Hello Year 1 Legends! For your STEM/ICT assignment
this week I would like you to practice your keyboard
skills.
First, I would like to practice typing out your name.
Practice this a few times and challenge yourself by
typing your last name too. Secondly, Please type out your
rainbow words.
For a fun twist to this activity type your words again but with a different font style. Play around
with all the fonts and find one that you really like! This is a fun skill to learn! Ask your parent or
carer to help show you how to change the font style. Once you learn it is fairly easy to remember
how to do the next time. * If you need a list of your words, you can download them from the link
at the top of this learning grid in the Word Study section. Have fun with this activity and as
always I would love to see any pictures of your super clever work! Have fun.
