Year 1 were excited to start their ICT lessons this week, especially the thought of getting their hands on the laptops… but first we had to find out what exactly ‘Technology’ is.

We found out the word ‘technology’ actually 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…

Poppy told us that “glasses help us to see better”, while River said “my bottle has my water in it for me to drink and stay healthy” and all the children were surprised when Avie said the chair was technology as it helps us to sit down!

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.
