I am at my wits end with DS. Can anyone help? I have twin?s a boy and girl aged 9 years of age and they are so different from a learning point of view. I never believed the whole thing re boys being behind girls but I do now. They are in the same class, do not sit beside each other but my DD is way ahead of my DS. Initially I had thought it was to do with behaviour and who they sit beside but that is not the case, as has been proved over the past two 3 years. I am just worried about their Keystage 2 my DD is doing well in both her English and Maths, my DS is doing fine at his maths but poor on his English. I initially went through homework?s with them together, but have now stopped this to try and give him a little more help. Normally DS would be the slightly more boisterous of the two. He does like school and his teacher says he is just a bit behind but is likely to catch up. I am just concerned about him particularly coming up to changing schools.
I have heard of a game that is possibly being introduced to aid in the Keystage 2 curriculum called Buccaneers and Lobsters. Apparently it is interactive learning online which is on the National Curriculum guidelines and parents can get involved as well. Has anyone used this at all or heard of it? :)
