Year 2- ICT

2JC ICT

2JC have enjoyed building on their ICT skills this half term by learning about pictograms. The children have learnt about how to use tally charts and pictograms to represent information and have even collected their own information! In a lesson, the children looked at what minibeasts we have around our school grounds. We went outside to research this and the children practiced using a tally chart to show the total amount of each minibeast. They then represented this in their own pictogram which they designed on their computers.

The children learnt how to count totals in a tally chart and represent this in a pictogram. The class were brilliant at supporting one another and working well in their partners to create their pictograms. 2JC built up to using these skills and at the end of the half term were able to choose their own theme to create their own pictograms!

By creating these pictograms, the children were able to use what they had learnt in maths about tally charts and pictograms to have more independence in creating their own pictograms and develop these skills further.
