Computing systems and networks - Systems and searching
Lesson 1: To explain that computers can be connected together to form systems
In this lesson we looked at what the input, process and output is. Using this we designed our teddy bear. My output was it would say 'Hello'
Emaan
Huda used a washing machine example to explain inputs, program and outputs
Akbar was able to label the parts on a bicycle and explain how they work together to create a steering system.
Lesson 2: To recognise the role of computer systems in our lives
In this lesson, Year 5 was introduced to the concept of a system. Pupils developed their understanding of components working together to make a whole. They outlined how digital systems might work and the physical and electronic connections that exist.
Ranya discussed her understanding of smart lockers and how search engines are systems.
Zain recognised the role of computer systems in our lives.
Huda explored how her searches changed as she refined her search criteria. She also explained the job of a web crawler.
Stefan: we compared traffic lights systems with and without cameras.

Lesson 3: Searching the web
Miguel: "We compared different search engines. I prefer to use Swisscows because we don't need to type 'facts' to find results"
Year 5 were introduced to a range of search engines. They were given the opportunity to explain how to search, before they wrote and tested the instructions. Next, they learnt that searches do not always return the results that someone is looking for, and refine their searches accordingly. Finally, year 5 were introduced to the two most common methods of searching: using a search engine and using the address bar.

Lesson 4: Selecting search results
Gabriele: "Every time we search, a web crawler search through the index and find the words we are looking for"
In this lesson, year 5 gained an understanding of why search engines are necessary to help them find things on the World Wide Web. They conducted their own searches and break down, in detail, the steps taken to find things on the web. Year 5 then emulated web crawlers to create an index of their own classroom. Finally, they considered why some searches return more results than others.
