Lesson 1 - Label and Match

Introduction

In this lesson, we have been learning to understand that objects have many different labels that can be used to put them into groups. We named different objects and have begun to experiment with placing them into different groups. We also labelled a group of objects, and are beginning to understand that an object can fit into more than one group depending on the context.

Learning objectives

To label objects

• I can describe objects using labels
• I can match objects to groups
• I can identify the label for a group of objects

Key vocabulary

Object, label, group, search, image

For our first activty, we had to find some labels around our classroom. We were surprised at just how many there are!

For our second activity, we looked at how computers show groups of images and learned that computers do not know what a cat, dog, bus or tree is, the computer doesn’t recognise that the images are these objects; it is showing the images because a human gave the image a label, like those that we found around the classroom.

Next we had to find and group objects from around our room to match the labels that were being displayed; things that we can write with, things that we can play with and things that we can eat.

For the third activity, we practised using a computer mouse to move images into the correct groups and then finally completed a matching activity sheet.
