Can you design an invention that will help you or others to reduce their carbon footprint?

Inventions are all around us to help with our lives but many inventions actually have caused pollution to grow and have had a negative impact on climate change.

For example: Cars and airplanes are amazing inventions, but they pollute our air everyday!

2:45-3:15 Topic Activity: Computing

Our focus in Computing this term is Blogging.

Today you will learn what a blog is and what makes a good blog post on the internet!

Watch this youtube video explaining what a blog is.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NjwUHXoi8lM

Because we are not at school at the moment, our blogs are not going to be public. It is so very important that our work and thoughts in a blog post are posted on a secure website with adult guidance and permission.

In our computing lessons we will learn about them, practice writing a few, and then someday we may get to create a class blog at school.

Activity

Make a mind map of everything you think a good blog needs and has.

You can use colours, images and any type of diagram you would like for your mind map.

Check: Does your mind map include any of these things?A Good Blog...-has correct spelling and punctuation

-has a theme or topic that the writing is about

-has a unique, catchy look

-includes photos or pictures

- is safe following internet safety rules and guidelines (like no personal informations)

-is interesting, entertaining and engaging for the reader

Well done today!

Remember to be kind to the Earth and grateful for what it gives us each day!

Have a goodevening!
