ICT: Years 1 - 7
David Sheehan
Can you believe its almost Christmas? The term has gone quickly and the children have been working hard to create some great work. We have been using some wonderful software that we bought as a school, but also some fantastic websites and freeware that are available on the internet. Check out the links below to find these great things.
What's going on in ICT: Years 1 - 7?
The year continues to go well with the introduction of the Adobe CS4 suite of programmes and a new scheme of work that will see the Year 7 children working with Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Flash and Dreamweaver - all industry leading software programmes. The primary years are continung to move swiftly enabling them to study a range of lessons not previously covered in their year programme. An excellent development that shows how good our children are.
