Great for displays in both the classroom and in corridors or hallways. Buy the lettering pack now and instantly brighten your computer room. HOW CAN YOU USE THESE LETTERS? These letters work well when positioned: above a display board, on your door way, in the corridor or above your whiteboard. . PREPARING THE LETTERS Decide what you want your message to say. The letters have been grouped together to make this easier and require the least printing pages possible. The letters spell out the following: ICT COMPUTING COMPUTER SCIENCE There is even a page which includes the & symbol and the letters AND There are also a couple of images, showing a laptop and a desktop computer . Print only the relevant pages for the message you want displayed for example “ICT & COMPUTING”. It is best to print them in colour, if you can, but I have included a black and white version too. If you are printing in black and white you may wish to print them onto coloured paper to add a bit of interest in your classroom. I suggest printing the lettering on card or laminating each page before cutting out the letters to give a more professional finish. Carefully cut out the letters and add them to your display space (making sure the letters are the right way up and in the correct order).
