It is now time to begin work looking at the skills used by, and taught to, Years 1 & 2 within the school. My plan is to begin with a list of skills that I feel they require in order to continue the rest of the curriculum. This is largely then, a reflection on the skills that the girls have already, questioning how they got them, and what extras I believe would be useful.
Topics or objectives can then become a cycle, for example, using shapes to create pictures. This works to develop dragging and dropping skills, inserting shape skills and mouse skills in the lower part of the school, but is then built upon in Year 5 to create 2D images, changing properties of shapes and as a build up to modelling in 3D.
My initial thoughts are contained within the following document. This will hopefully be updated over the coming weeks and into the Christmas holiday.
