Using technology is an important part of our everyday lives. The children at Southfield have also been busy using and exploring technology. In phase 1, the children have looked at torches, turning them on and off and using coloured overlays to make new colours through light. They have also used battery powered toys to explore cause and effect, what happens when they press a button? The children also love using the interactive whiteboard to draw and be creative. In phase 2, the children have been busy learning how to use a computer. They learnt how to select objects on screen and how to resize them. They are starting to learn how to type on the keyboard. In phase 3, the children have been busy making e-books all about The Great Fire of London. They know how to make a background, how to copy and paste their work and how to use clip art. All children at Southfield have a Purple Mash log in and can use the programme to support their learning. Did you know Purple Mash has maths games, spelling games, drawing projects, writing projects and lots more? Mini-mash is also great for phase 1 learners it has lots of different themed activities.
