As part of our IDL context, Extraordinary Humans, Primary 3 have been learning all about different people who have not let a physical disability affect their confidence, strength, or their ability to believe in themselves and become extraordinary.<\/p>\n

We have been learning all about the Paralympic swimmer, Ellie Simmonds. We used fact sheets and online search engines to find out about her childhood, achievements and life after the Paralympics. We organised our notes under subheadings and then used Microsoft Word to create a biography about her. We tinkered with the features of Word before using it, learning how to layout our biographies neatly, add an image, how to change the fonts and colours,\u00a0 and how to use bold and underlining to make our headings and subheadings clear. As our final subheading, we had to explain why, in our opinion, Ellie was extraordinary, and our reasons were something that we should all aspire towards.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
