Learning aims

Today’s class is cross-curricular and involves language work.

The class is also an ICT lesson – Mr Turnbull expects the pupils to learn how to change font style, colour and size and put a frame around a piece of text.

He hopes that each pupil will develop presentation skills by producing an attractive piece of work that can go on the wall. He points out that some pupils are self-conscious about their handwriting: by using the computer, all the children can produce something of which they are proud.
