Our iSecure course offers a comprehensive approach to digital literacy, equipping children with essential skills and strategies for using digital devices safely and responsibly. The course covers a wide range of topics to help students think critically about the digital world. Alongside exploring safe online practices, Key Stage 2 pupils will become familiar with key functions in the Microsoft Office suite, including Word, Excel, and the iOS app Keynote. These applications provide students with the opportunity to develop important skills such as document creation, data management, and presentation design, while also improving their typing proficiency. The course also delves into key aspects of digital literacy, including online gaming, sticky game design, digital reputation, online contact, social media, and the challenges of cyberbullying. Through this hands-on learning experience, pupils not only gain practical knowledge for later life but also build a strong foundation for confident and responsible digital citizenship.
Aligned with the Early Learning Goals, this course introduces pupils to technology and the fundamental rules for using digital devices safely and respectfully. Through hands-on activities, they will explore how to handle physical technology responsibly while developing key digital skills. Encouraging collaboration and sharing, the course also helps pupils discover how an iPad can be used for both learning and play, fostering a balanced and positive relationship with technology.
Pupils will develop their digital literacy by learning the fundamentals of the internet and safe digital device use. Through real-life scenarios, they will explore potential online risks and develop strategies to avoid or respond to them safely. This course also introduces key aspects of information technology, ensuring pupils understand the correct procedures to follow and know who to turn to if they have any e-safety concerns.
iConnect empowers pupils with essential knowledge of data, digital literacy, and e-safety. Through engaging lessons, they will explore data handling, gaining a deeper understanding of how information is collected, used, and shared in the digital world. A strong focus on digital literacy will help pupils make informed decisions about the data they provide, recognise how others connect with them through digital platforms, and critically assess online interactions. Additionally, they will develop key e-safety strategies, ensuring they can navigate technology safely and responsibly. This course builds the confidence and awareness needed to thrive in an increasingly connected world.

Pupils will begin with a recap of basic Excel knowledge gained in Level 1 before moving on to more advanced functions within the app. Their task is to act as movie producers and decide on a style of animated movie to put into production.

The class will develop their Excel skills and learn how to successfully use a variety of advanced functions within a spreadsheet.
