In this weeks ICT lesson, Reception children developed their mouse control skills by using a drawing program to create pictures of a beanstalk. They practised clicking, dragging, and selecting tools and colours independently. Through the activity, children used their imagination to predict what they might see when climbing the beanstalk, adding creative details to their pictures. The lesson encouraged both ICT skills development and imaginative thinking, with opportunities for children to explain and discuss their ideas.
