🍫 Chocolate For Breakfast Before SEAG Test 🍫

In case this is news to you, it's a scientific fact that popping a little bit of chocolate before an exam can settle nerves and improve memory function (especially for maths) so every year the transfer kids take great delight in being served up some in the morning. 😎

But just a little chocolate, like a Freddo, is enough as mental improvement is not directly proportional to the total amount of chocolate consumed - and obviously too much could lead to adverse effects. 🤢

The science says:
“Chocolate is a great snack that you can eat while studying or when you’re preparing for an upcoming exam. The cocoa in the chocolate contains properties such as flavonoids. Studies showed that Flavonoids help your brain and your heart. Eating chocolate before an exam can improve your brain function because it boosts your blood flow to the brain.”

You’ve got this! 💪

SEAG Test Paper, let’s be having you! 🥳

Dyslexia tips for parents 😃

Dyslexia-Tips for Parents- Primary Aged
Management issues and homework:

 If your child is tired when he/she come home from school don’t ask too many questions. Give them a break.

 Some children with dyslexia struggle with organisational skills. Help your child to organise himself/herself by establishing routines and time-tables at home (e.g. time for homework or wall calendar).

 Have a set time for getting schoolbag and uniform ready for the next day.

 Discuss any issues around homework with teachers and agree the time to be spent on homework and which parts will be given priority. Don’t do your child’s homework for them. Let the teacher know if there are particular areas that are causing problems.

 If homework takes a long time, try to reduce the amount of writing your child has to do (e.g. re-writing questions).

 Have your child dictate the answers to some questions and write out their answers making sure that this arrangement is agreed with the teacher.

 Read the text from school books so that your child can concentrate on listening and understanding.

 Break big tasks into smaller ones where the parts are manageable and set achievable goals.

Self-esteem:
Avoid making comparisons with other children (including relatives). Success should be measured against self, not others.

Focus on what your child ‘can do’ and give genuine praise.

Encourage participation in activities in the community / after school.

Encourage interests in a wide variety of things to help discover your child’s
talents.

Show that you value your child’s opinion by quoting them or acting on their suggestions.

Promote positive thinking by getting your child to use positive commenting e.g. ‘I can read this’ or ‘I can finish this task’.

Challenge any unhelpful reason a child gives for his success or failure and suggest an alternative.
