Composing Emails

Today in Computing, we had an exciting lesson with Mr. Spracklen all about Composing Emails! 📨

Aims:
We learned how to open and respond to an email, which was really fun. We also practiced writing emails to our classmates and sending them from our address book. Mr. Spracklen explained how emails are like sending letters but much faster! 

Success Criteria:
By the end of the lesson, we could:

• Open an email and reply to it.
• Write emails to our friends in the class.
• (Extension) Use the search option to find our classmates in the address book to send emails to them!

In today’s lesson, we used 2Email in PurpleMash, which is a special sandbox environment designed for us to practice safely. It’s like a mini email system just for our class, where we can send and receive emails without worrying about real-world emails. 

We practiced checking our inboxes and clicking on emails to open them. 

Once we read them, we could click Reply and write our answers. 

Everyone had a go at sending an email to someone else in the class. It was great fun!

Some of us even went further and used the search bar to find our friends' names quickly when sending emails. It was a little tricky at first, but we got the hang of it in no time.

It was a fun and important lesson and we can’t wait to learn more about using emails in the future!
