Foundation Stage

Wiz Kid is in full swing in the juniors and as the Foundation Stage Teacher and ICT Manager I thought that I should have a go with my children. The first lesson consisted of us mainly looking at the site I have built on the IWB , I have put a few videos and games for them to play which instantly got them wowing. The real excitment came when I told them that they could email each other, the teachers and their friends in other classes - we then needed a brief discussion on email - some had their own email at home others didn't. So myself and my classroom assistant along with a few prepared parents helped the children to log on to Wiz Kid and got them going on Email. A very noisy session in the ICT suite but as I looked round each computer I smiled as each child with their partner was attempting to write something (not much made sense but they were emailing) as well as looking through the address book to find their friends. The greater excitment came of course when they got an instant reply from me! I now know that there is no excuse from anyone if Year R can do it anyone can!! Next Time - discussion!!
