What will my child be doing with ICT?
ICT in the Foundation Stage is in the area of learning 'Knowledge and understanding of the world' (see the parent's guide last month on 19 September). Nursery children are usually introduced to ICT by using programmable toys, such as remote controlled cars or robots, or by playing imaginary games with telephones and computers.
