This term in Computing, Year 1 will be getting to use the school laptops … but first we had to find out what exactly ‘technology’ is.

We found out the word ‘technology’ means ‘anything made by people to help us’.

The children then searched our classroom to find items of technology. The children were able to find many things and say how they help us…

Harvey told us that “glasses help us to see better”, while Matilda said “my bottle has my water in it for me to stay hydrated and healthy” and all the children were surprised when Thomas said the chair was technology as it helps us to sit down! Roman and Aurelius both found sticks that help us to measure.

We discovered that technology is absolutely everywhere in our classroom, so we had to go outside to find things that aren’t technology… trees and the sky aren’t technology as they are not made by people… also, the children found it funny to learn that we also aren’t technology!
