USING ICT TO DELIVER
SUBJECT SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES |
Key Stage 1
Year Group: Year 1
Topic: Shape (ICT QCA Scheme Unit 1D Labelling and classifying) |
|
For example: What previous knowledge will the pupils have? Will the activity take place in the classroom or in a computer suite? Will have started to become
familiar with the names of 2D shapes such as square,
triangle, rectangle, circle and hexagon. Will have
experience of using a word bank or selecting objects in a
drawing package and relocating them by clicking and
dragging. Could take place in a suite or be an activity for
a group in the classroom within the Numeracy hour. |

Pupils should: Use everyday language to describe familiar 2D shapes. [ICT: Use key words to label
and classify objects] |
|
|
|
Template presenting
children with a number of 2D shapes and a word bank of keywords and phrases
that can be selected to create labels to describe a chosen shape [e.g.
round, sides, corners]. Box of 2D shapes. |

Whole class teaching session followed by children working in pairs. Begin with the children seated in front of a large screen or a reasonable size monitor being taught as a whole class. The children would then work in pairs on task . Introduction: Show the children different 2D shapes and ask them to describe them, referring to the number of sides, number of corners, whether all some or none of the sides are the same size and whether sides are straight or curved. Ask children in turn to pick a shape and describe it to the class, the class then guess which shape they have chosen. Explain ICT task, demonstrating how to locate and open the template. Task: Using prepared template, select a shape, select words from the word bank to create a label to describe their shape. Print out their work. Plenary: Some children read out their labels and
the rest of the class guess which shape they chose on the computer. |
