Pupils
use ICT to save information and to find and use appropriate stored information,
following straightforward lines of enquiry. They use ICT to generate, develop, organise and present
their work. They share and
exchange their ideas with others. They use sequences of instructions to
control devices and achieve specific outcomes. They make appropriate choices
when using ICT-based models or simulations to help them find things out and
solve problems. They describe their use of ICT and its use outside school.
This piece of work is a lovely demonstration of ICT capability in a year 4 pupil. The image has been downloaded from the Internet and saved, a couple of sentences of text was copied to a word processor then re-drafted it into their own words. This pupils has also chosen a handwriting type of font to personalise it.
To extend this work several pupils could have been given different aspects to find out about for a class book. Another idea is that this work could have been the inspiration for their own sculpture and they could have added information about their own work with their own picture to finish it off. Ideally if one is finding something out it is because they can use that information. It is not clear from this work what they were using the information for.
