Lesson Two – Ship Names

This computing teaching pack for Key Stage One gets the children to explore how to select and record the names of different ships moored in a harbour using a keyboard to type matching capital and lowercase letters.

The class can practise using the computer to correctly type the name for a ship or boat in a harbour so that the label can be read easily and understood by harbour users.
