Having learnt about products and resources the rainforests give us, we decide to look into fairtrade products.
P3/4 watched a video describing what can happen to non-fairtrade farmers who grow crops and compared this to farmers who are fairtrade farmers. They worked in pairs to compare the journeys these products take. We had a lot of discussion about how it is fair that the farmers get a fair price and what they can do with the money.
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:
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!
