Today during ICT, we were learning about the keys on the keyboard and basic features within Word.
Ask us about the shift key, the enter/return key and space bar.
We had to find the capital letters on the keyboard to type the alphabet in lower case, then use the shift key to make the letters capital. We also changed the font, the font size and colour of our spelling words which we typed into the document.
We learn about the products and resources we can get from the rainforests. Pupils then learnt how to create a PicCollage on the iPad to display their learning about the rainforest products and resources.
P3/4 scanned QR codes to access different websites on our iPads to find out information about rainforest plants.
Things we learnt:
- “The trees in the rainforests can be called the lungs of the planet.”
- “They [the trees] take in carbon dioxide and give out oxygen.”
- “Some leaves have drip tips.”
- “Plants can grow without soil.”
- “Some trees can grow to 200 feet.” – Mrs Conetta converted this to metres and told us that this would be 60 metre sticks tall!
- “There are some plants that eat flies!”
Our morning starters change weekly and we have been focusing on the alphabet. Each table has a different activity and then they rotate each day so everyone gets a chance to explore each activity.
We have been ordering the alphabet in small letters, in capital letters, matching the small letter to capital letters and identifying the letters before and after.
Primary 3/4 successfully all logged onto the laptops using their usernames and passwords!
We have been learning to use the trackpad on the laptop. We practised our clicking and dragging skills in Paint. We also learnt how to use the shape, colour and paint pot tools as well. Here are some examples of what some pupils created – great work!
