The pupils will be building up to the assessment where they will create a Noah's Ark  storyboard and write Noah's speech into bubbles.  They will learn lots of different keys on the keyboard especially how to use the shift key for capital letters and the backspace key where appropriate.

In this unit the pupils will create pictures within a graphics package using simple techniques.  They will select and use different techniques to develop ideas.

These are night time pictures - aren't they fantastic!

The final piece of work within this unit is to create a picture which reflects the mood of a piece of music.  The children will listen to a CD-Rom from Beethoven, Mozart, Tchaikovsky and New World music.

This unit looks at how simple instructions can direct a screen turtle.  Pupils use a series of direct commands to accurately follow a route.

Pupils recognise that certain devices need controlling and that they follow instructions.  All the pupils use the key pad to program the robot to move from the start to the end without going through a square which contained a picture.  Some pupils then tried to reduce the number of moves this process took.

This unit looks at three different types of information tools: pictograms, decision trees and databases.  Over the course of 7 weeks pupils will work with these three databases, asking questions in different ways to find out information.  Below is an example of the data the pupils will be looking at in Lesson 5 and also the worksheet given to pupils to complete the exercise.
