Activity

Talk to the class about grouping related things together. For example, you could write the names of some students on the board and group them according to some criterion such as the row they sit in, or their favourite sport. You could then collect these groups under another group for the entire class, and talk about how every class could be put under similar groups. You could indicate this for the school with a simple box-within-box or tree diagram such as the one shown earlier.

Collect a bunch of music files and picture files in a folder. Within this folder, ask students to create folders for music and pictures. Now, ask them to move the files to the appropriate folders after according to the file types.

Create a simple directory structure on the computer for the school: a school folder contains a student and a teacher folder; the student folder can contain folders for a few classes, which contain files named after a few students of that class; the teacher folder can contain files named after a few teachers. Now ask the children to navigate to the files for a specific student or teacher.
