‘Productivity’ in Computing

In Computing this term, one theme of children’s learning is ‘Productivity’ with children exploring some key functionality of using a computer, such as creating presentations or using a spreadsheet. Take a look at some photos of children’s work below!

Reception ‘Little Digits’

Reception have been exploring a maths app called ‘Little Digits’ on iPad, which develops children’s number recognition and fine motor skills. This child is exploring the link between what happens on screen and number of fingers they put on the screen.

Year 1 Photos

Year 1 have been learning how to take, edit and combine effective photos. This child has been able to use the Photos app on iPad to crop one photo and rotate another photo to make the subject clearer.

Year 4 Spreadsheets
