Year 2 research… Christopher Columbus!

Year 2 are learning about Christopher Columbus in history. To help find out more information they conducted some research in ICT. The children learnt how to use an app for QR codes which took them straight to a specific website. They looked at a range of sources and it was a quick and effective way to find out more about the explorer.
