Computing Summer 2
EYFS
iDraw
LC : To explore shape and fill tools
We will use a computer program to draw and fill shapes to create a vector image.
A vector image is a digital graphic made up of points, curves and lines. Vector images do not lose quality when resized.
Can you use the Paintz app to recreate this image?
iCanSurf
LC : To understand the World Wide Web can be used to find things using search terms.
Today we are going to use a child friendly search engine to help us to find an image that we can colour on our iPad using the markup tools.
Scan the QR code below to open kiddle.
Use the search term 'colouring' to find a picture of a rainbow for us to colour.
We will save the image to our iPads and then colour our image using the markup tool.
I Stay Safe
LC : To know how to stay safe online.
Watch the video below about staying safe online.
/docs/Computing/EYFS/Online_Safety/my-online-neighbourhood.mp4
Complete the activity on seesaw on how to stay safe online.
