Activities in this teaching pack include display posters to identify and describe shapes that can be used to represent aspects of a specific area in the local community and a template to select and record the design of shapes to represent the local area on the design of a flag.
The interactive presentation can be used to explore how to insert and format a range of shapes using different graphic tools to make a flag representing a specific area.
This lesson is part of a computing scheme of work to get the children to investigate and practise how to create different graphic shapes that can be utilised when producing a flag representing the local community. There are teaching activities for shared learning, differentiated worksheets to support independent learning and interactive presentations to introduce concepts and key skills.
