Northumberland Grid for Learning - KS2 : is relevant to the following: QCA ICT Scheme of Work Unit 5A - Graphical modelling
Year 5 children used the graphical model for Class Design 1 provided on the website. They worked in small groups and were challenged to produce a layout suitable for an expanded class of 25, then 30 children. They reorganised the furniture and added all the children to see how crowded the room appeared. They printed out their arrangements and used a plenary session to justify their solutions.

ICT Unit 5A: Graphical modelling (Year 5)
In this unit children learn to use an object-based graphics package to produce images and visual models. They learn the key differences between an object-based program and a paint package and understand that visual models can be used to identify patterns and relationships.
Children will be able to apply what they have learnt in this unit when making maps in geography and drawing diagrams in science.
