Mouse Control
In school we have put white dots on the left click of the mouse and red dots on the right click of the mouse to help encourage children what side of the mouse to click
We start with using software through Purple Mash which you will find the login details in your child's diary.
In school to start with we login the computers for the children to maximize the time spent starting to understand mouse control.
At the start we use the following games and paint apps in order (some will be general sites as well):
