‘Our Future World’ IDL summary and introduction to ‘Our World of Work’
In term two we have been working on ‘Our Future World’ IDL. We enjoyed writing different kinds of genre during writing lessons such as fact files, imaginative stories and instructions.
We also engaged in learning about changes that happened in technologies. We researched history of phones and computers and learned many interesting facts.
We spoke about the future of our school and made designs for a new building, as well as created posters of things we would like to put in a time capsule.
We worked a lot on coding and helped each other to understand coding better. We used coding games to create written instructions for a coding game.
We also discussed how to be safe online and what information should never be shared with people we do not know and we meet online.
