This term in ICT, our focus is  ‘Data and Information – grouping data’.

We are becoming confident at:-

•   Labelling objects.
•   Identifying that objects can be counted.
•   Describing objects in different ways.
•   Counting objects with the same properties.
•   Comparing groups of objects.
•   Answering questions about groups of objects.

First, I asked the children to find me ‘a cylinder shaped object, that has stripes, one flat end, one pointy end and I can write and draw with it’ … Archie quickly realised that I meant a pencil!

We discussed how names for objects and labels are important…and then we went on a label hunt’ in our classroom, we found so many!

We used our classroom resources to sort and label some objects.

Then we collectively used the class computer to search a variety of images, by size, shape, use and colours (their properties) this helped us to understand that data (images) have different labels so that computers are able to group them.

… and then finally, we went on a ‘colour hunt’ in our classroom!
