This week, Year 1 have been working on developing their trackpad skills.

We now understand the main components of a computer – screen, keyboard, mouse, trackpad – so we looked at different mice and how some look different but all perform the same function, such as the trackpad.

All of the children were able to switch on their laptop, log in using their QR code and find the artist app that we were going to use – with a little help of course.

At first, some found it a bit tricky to select colours and use the trackpads to draw … but all of the children showed determination and perseverance, and were able to produce some masterpieces! The children, and myself, were very proud of what they had achieved.

We even walked around at the end, like we were at an Art Gallery, to look at everyone’s amazing creations!
