Computing

Year 5

Module 6

Programming B

In computing, we having been using scratch in our programming B unit. We have learnt to explain how selection is used in computer programs by recalling how conditions are used in selection, identifying conditions in programs and then modify those conditions in the program Scratch.

We then used this knowledge to create our own quiz, that allowed for more than one condition so that people answering could give different answers to make our sprite show different outcomes.

Pupils should be taught:

use sequence, selection, and repetition in programs; work with variables and various forms of input and output
use logical reasoning to explain how some simple algorithms work and to detect and correct errors in algorithms and programs

Module 5

Programming A

Pupils should be taught to:

design, write and debug programs that accomplish specific goals, including controlling or simulating physical systems; solve problems by decomposing them into smaller parts
use sequence, selection, and repetition in programs; work with variables and various forms of input and output
use logical reasoning to explain how some simple algorithms work and to detect and correct errors in algorithms and programs

Tghroughout this module, we have using Micro:Bits to create programs. We have looked at what algorithms are and have used this to create different programs. We have created our own nightlights, emotions badges, name badges and step counters. We were able to create the program and then adapt it to change over original algorithm, making it more complex.

Module 4

Databases

Pupils should be taught to:

use logical reasoning to explain how some simple algorithms work and to detect and correct errors in algorithms and programs
use search technologies effectively, appreciate how results are selected and ranked, and be discerning in evaluating digital content
select, use and combine a variety of software (including internet services) on a range of digital devices to design and create a range of programs, systems and content that accomplish given goals, including collecting, analysing, evaluating and presenting data and information

Lesson 1: we explored what a database is and created our own paper-based database about animals.

Lesson2 : we explored computer databases

Lesson 3: using a database

Lesson 4: using searh tools

Lesson 5: we compared data visually

Lesson 6: we explored real life databases by looking at flights.

Module 3

Video

Pupils should be taught to:

select, use and combine a variety of software (including internet services) on a range of digital devices to design and create a range of programs, systems and content that accomplish given goals, including collecting, analysing, evaluating and presenting data and information

Lesson 1: What is a video?

Children explored what a video is and reviewed a Blue Peter clip about board games.

Lesson 2: Filming techniques

Children learnt about the different filming techniques and created their own frames using their new knowledge.

Lesson 3: Storyboard

Children learnt how a story board can help plan and support the creation of a video and evaluated its effectiveness.

Lesson 4: planning

Using a storyboard, the children planned their video: selecting their theme, writing a script and choosing which techniques to use.

Lesson 5: creating the video

Children worked in their pairs to create the video they planned using a storyboard. Props were used and the different techniques chosen were executed.

Lesson 6: importing and editing

Children uploaded their video to the Google Drive. Using google Vids, they edited their video.

Module 2

Vector drawings

Pupils should be taught to:

select, use and combine a variety of software (including internet services) on a range of digital devices to design and create a range of programs, systems and content that accomplish given goals, including collecting, analysing, evaluating and presenting data and information

Lesson 1: children explored different drawing tools

Lesson 2: creating a vector drawing by combing shapes

Lesson 3: use tools to create desired effect.

Lesson 4 :recognise that vector drawings consist of layers of objects

Lesson 5 : group objects to make them easier to work with

Lesson 4 : showcase learnt skills and create a Christmas card

Module 1

Computing systems and networks

Key stage 2

Pupils should be taught to:

understand computer networks including the internet; how they can provide multiple services, such as the world wide web; and the opportunities they offer for communication and collaboration
use search technologies effectively, appreciate how results are selected and ranked, and be discerning in evaluating digital content
use technology safely, respectfully and responsibly; recognise acceptable/unacceptable behaviour; identify a range of ways to report concerns about content and contact.

Lesson 2: We discovered how internet search index information to enable us to quickly discover information that we want to find out.

Lesson 1: we explored different search engines and the importance of being specific with the searches we make. We identified that results are different when using different search engines and that we have to be aware of adverts.

Lesson 3: Children explored ways that search engines select results and found out about indexing.

Lesson 4: How searches are influenced

Children discovered how people's choices are influenced and the importance of being precise with searches and providing key information.
