Note: Children working significantly above or below age-related expectations will need differentiated support, which may include tracking forward or back in terms of learning objectives. EAL learners should be expected to work within the overall expectations for their year group. For further advice see the progression strands and hyperlinks to useful sources of practical support.

Phase 1: Practical work; information finding; talk for writing (4 days)

Teaching content:

• Demonstrate how to use a computer printer, for example in printing some shared writing completed as part of another unit or subject area. Talk through the steps involved.
• Discuss the names for the different parts of the printer. Ask children to write simple labels to help them remember the parts.
• Over two or three days, give children supported opportunities to use the printer themselves. Encourage discussion about the process.

Learning outcome:

• Children can name the parts of the printer and write simple labels independently.
