In the past two weeks in ICT, the Reception children have learned two function keys on the keyboard - delete/backspace and shift. They have known that DELETE/BACKSPACE key can help them to erase a mistake and they have used 'SHIFT' key to make capital letter in their names. It seems a little bit tricky for some kids but we will carry on practicing it in the ICT lessons.

In the past few weeks, the Year Two children have learned to search for information held on a CD-ROM. They are introduced to CD-ROM as a means of storing large amounts of information. Children have learned to use menus, indexes and key words to search and gather information.

Year Two have used 'All About Animals', Google Earth and DUCKS Library website to do some search work. They found the answers to the questions they needed by using different search technique. (search using menus, search using the index, search using key words)

Recently, Year One children have learned to use key pieces of information to describe objects. They are also learning to use simple criteria to divide objects into sub-sets, and identify objects by key words. 


Children had great fun when they did 'face to back painting' activity in ICT. They worked in pairs, one person described his/her picture to another, the other person tried to paint it in Tux Paint without looking backwards. 

They tried very hard in 2-set venn diagram work, classifying the words/pictures in the proper place in the venn diagram with the heading/categories.

All the DUCKS are reading Olympics to celebrate book week now. The Reception children have enjoyed the story 'Blue Cow Goes to the Olympic Games' on the CBeebies website. We also learned to paint the Olympics rings in Tux Paint.
