Junior children have carried out a tree survey in the school grounds, giving them the opportunity to use a variety of ICT skills including:
- digital photography – carrying out a photographic survey of trees using a digital camera on loan from Tupton Hall School. Details such as leaves, bark, fruit/seeds and tree form were recorded
- graphical modelling – producing a plan of the school grounds showing the position and species of each tree, together with key, scale and bearing
- searching large databases – use of the Internet, reference CD-ROMS and books to find out about trees
- wordprocessing – combining text and images to produce a page of information about each tree with a view to publishing on the internet
- branching database – design of a yes/no questionnaire type database as an aid to tree identification
