Home corner- telephone, microwave, cooker.
Small world- walkie talkies, magnifiers, telescope, cameras, metal detectors
Writing- phones, key boards,
Maths- calculators, phones, till

Make sure that there are books within the setting which support the ‘critical thinking’ of technology. Foe example in the construction area provide information texts about wheels, cars, trains. This will develop their language and understanding of how different types of technology works.
To extend the use of the classroom computer set weekly challenges to complete on a certain program. Create an interactive tick list so that children can manage their own learning.
e.g. draw a picture of your family selecting different appropriate colours.
Type a message to your friend.
Technology
Children recognise that a range of technology is used in places such as homes and schools. They select and use technology for particular purposes.
Allow the children to explore with different types of technology by providing them with old (not working) resources. Such as computers, key boards, type writer, washing machines., televisions , watches and mobiles.
Can they take them apart? Use a variety of tools to let the children explore the technology and take it apart to see various functions and materials.
