This term in ICT, our focus has been ‘Data and Information – grouping data’.
We have confidently become able to:-
- Label objects.
- Identify that objects can be counted.
- Describe objects in different ways.
- Count objects with the same properties.
- Compare groups of objects.
- Answer 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’ … they quickly realised that I meant a pencil and also why labels were important!

Next, we went on a ‘label hunt’ in our classroom, we found so many!

We then used our classroom resources to sort and label some objects.
We also looked at different ways to group objects.
Then we collectively used the class computer to search a variety of images, by categories like size, shape, use and colours.
This helped us to understand that data (images) have different labels so that computers are able to group them.
We also looked at internet safety this term, talking about how some things online could make us sad, worried or upset and how we can get help from a trusted adult if this ever happens.
