Christmas and computing
Memory magic!
If you manage it, you can pick one of the games below to play. Remember you might need to read the instructions!
Log on!
One of the hardest things in Year 1 that we learn in Computing is how to switch the computers on correctly, log on and get to our blog!.
Once we have log on we are using some useful games from the BBC to practise controlling the mouse/touch pad or clicking – again this hand to eye coordination is very tricky for young children – a touch screen is much easier.
To use the games we had to use the internet, we looked at how school keeps us safe using the internet by blocking sites and looking at websites we go on in school. Then thought about how we can use the internet at home but still how we need to keep safe.
Can you login?
All by ourselves…
Over the year we have been practising how to login to the school laptops, then get to the blog and click links. Today Mr Connolly wants to see you are ready for Year 2 by all children logging in all by themselves, without any help from Mr Connolly!

Drag, drop, clip and snap – Jigsaw
This half term we are going to learn how to program a computer to do what we want it to do.
To start we need to learn how to make drag, drop, click and snap the blocks together so when we use the commands the computer will know what to do!
Library
Each week, we visit the library and the children read and take out a book of their choice.
It’s one of our favourite times of the week because it’s so nice to see the children reading a wide range or texts and sharing them with their friends.
