Overview
At Witley C of E Infant school we believe it is important the children are exposed to a wide range of digital devices to support and enhance the teaching and learning in the classroom.
In Reception, children learn that technology is all around them and forms part of everyday life. Through the Clevertouch the children begin to develop their literacy and numeracy skills using a range of resources to support the EYFS curriculum. They begin to have an awareness of basic programming and use ‘Beebots’ to input a series of instructions.
In Key Stage 1, we use the Teach Computing curriculum to develop computer skills. Using digital technology, (Chromebooks), the children are given the skills to create and edit their own work for a given purpose. They are taught to use technology to store, organise and retrieve content.
On-line safety is taught through Project Evolve and our E-Safety age appropriate scheme of work. They are shown how to keep safe when using digital technology and given the knowledge to know what to do if they have concerns about content, or contact on-line.
Pupils have designed their own E-safety poster to help them keep safe online.
