Lesson 1: Systems
LO: To explain that computers can be connected together to form systems.
Lesson 1: Systems
LO: To explain that computers can be connected together to form systems.
We wrote in some inputs and outputs for our digital teddy.
We also wrote down the processes involved when an input is made till an outcome is achieved.
In this lesson, we learnt that there are 3 features which makes a system. These are input, process and the output. Our bear has a button (input), the process is the signal sent to the voicebox. The teddy then says 'Hello'(output).
Lesson 2: Computer systems and us.
LO: To recognise the role of computer systems in our lives.
We compared two digital systems on road crossings, a sensor and timed crossing. If someone presses the button on a sensor crossing and walks away, the light will not stop. On a timed crossing the green man light will still go green even though no-one is there.
We also looked at the system involved when an order is placed and worked out the stages by placing them in order. We then discussed which task is done by a computer and which is done by a person.
Lesson 3: Searching the web.
LO: To experiment with search engines.
Lesson 4: Safer Internet Day
We followed an online coding workshop and learnt how to code on cratch.
It was fun, I learn how to control and code in many different ways.
We also watched an online safety video and then created our own rules on online safety.
