Waterloo



Review of the Waterloo School Year August 2008

Year 1 and 2

=Year 3 and 4=

Term 1
In Year 3 we spent quite a bit of time looking at keyboards skills. we started out the term with acoustic poems where students become familiar with presentation features of the application systems eg: wordart, colour, fonts, clipart, text boxes etc... Typing skills are encouraged with the introduction of the BBC's typing game - a great site. In Year 4 introduction to powerpoint begins with the students doing a slideshow about themselves in partners about themselves They leran to insert an image from clipart as well as photos and this eventually progress onto drawing in paint and inserting this picture as well. They learn about backgrounds, slide transations, inserting word art and playing with sound from the basic sounds available.

Term 2
The topic was all about systems this term so both years learnt how to research. From this point the Year 3 continued their ICT by putting together a text box style word documentation on their systems continuing the theme of becoming familiar with presentation. Year 4 continued down the powerpoint theme and created some fantastic powerpoints with music added and they learnt to add pictures from the internet.

Year 5 and 6s,
