for Teachers

Over the years the ICT Coordinator has created or adapted many subject-specific, computer-based activities for use with KS 2 children. Most of the headings below will be familiar to teachers of this age range. They encourage the development of computer skills within the context of familiar topics. Many involve such skills as searching and sorting a datafile, cutting and pasting in a word processor, and inserting appropriate clipart. The files can easily be edited to suit the age and ability of your particular pupils. A short explanatory text file is included with each "package".

Many of the files were created in WORD or in JUNIOR PINPOINT so having these software packages in school will help a great deal. These ZIP files contain the workfiles needed for the activities. WINZIP was used to compress the files for faster downloading. Click here if you wish to download this excellent piece of shareware to unzip them.
