Why this why now

As pupils move from primary to secondary school, this unit supports their transition by building on digital skills developed in KS2. It helps them use the school network safely and respectfully while working across multiple applications. By creating a poster and presentation, pupils learn to combine text and images to communicate ideas clearly - skills they will apply across subjects throughout secondary school.

Prior knowledge requirements

  • Pupils should be familiar with how to perform online searches.
  • Pupils should have experience of using digital devices to create publications.
  • Pupils should have experience of combining text and images using digital devices to create artefacts that meet the needs of an audience.
