Year Two children are having fun with Scratch Cat in ICT these days. Scratch is a programming language that makes it easy for children/adults to create their own interactive stories, animations etc. 

You can visit http://scratch.mit.edu/ to see and share the scratch projects.
Simple samples for Scratch to try:
 
Year One children are learning to use a word processor to assemble text held in a word bank and start to develop familiarity with the computer keyboard (space bar, shift, delete) these weeks. 

They discussed the words they saw around them (e.g. Exit sign, P-parking sign) and understood that words convey information. They did some word bank work according to their topic 'ME', applied what they have learned to write short phrases or sentences (e.g. My name is, I like, I come from) using a Word file.

The children have started to save their job using 'Save as' as well. They practice every lesson and many of them can do the saving properly now.
