Starting the Journey

Our aims were to: Target a small group of children who have English as

an additional language. Use ICT equipment outdoors to improve the

development of their communication skills.What we did: Adults observed and monitored the progress of the

target children. Planned for the effective use of the ICT equipment. Recorded the children’s progress by developing

profiles. Liaised with parents about their children’s progress

e.g. outdoor documentation display.

The Impact of our Journey

Staff gained confidence in ICT, whilst the project gave others time to focus on children’s needs.

Staff learnt from each other and used each others skills and experiences.

Staff had shared aims and worked together as a team to have a successful outcome.

The effective use of ICT equipment is now embedded in the planning to insure it has a purpose

Through documenting the children’s progress in the outdoor environment, the teachers and parents have become partners in the children’s learning

Children have gained confidence especially in Communication, Language and Literacy and the use of ICT equipment. However, it has had an impact across all the areas

Where to next? To show the presentation to parents at the

induction meeting To continue the project in Early years and extend

the use of ICT equipment to year 1 To promote the CLLICT project to the staff and

parents on the school website To develop a documentation wall starting at the

beginning of the year showing childrens` progress

To encourage parents to involve their children with ICT tasks using Fronter

To trial the use of PDAs for assessment in Early years
