Y6  Computing


Our Y5 Work


​E-Safety

This term our focus has been on E-Safety.  Mr Campbell has been teaching us about the dangers of the Internet and how to keep safe when using online programmes, games and apps. 

​We have produced leaflets advising others on how to keep safe.  A couple of examples are attached for you to look at.

​Spread Sheets

During the spring term we have been using Microsoft Excel to create spread sheets.  We collected some class data on height. Next, we entered the data into a spread sheet and then created formula for the cells, which enabled us to create graphs.

​Last half term, we had lots of fun making a film trailer using iMovie with the alien masks that we created for homework.  This half term, we are using a program called Scratch to create algorithms.  We hope to be able to invent and program a game which sends a rocket into space!  

​Our Y4 Work


​Autumn Year 4 Pro-Bots

The Year 4 children have been using Logo programming, as well as learning robotic control, by using Pro-Bots.   Pro-Bots are turtle robots, cleverly disguised as racing cars.   Pro-Bot can hold a felt-tip pen in its built-in mechanism, allowing it to draw as it moves, much like the Logo turtle on the screen.  The children were challenged with developing a program to draw a square, rectangle, and triangle and then consider how to construct a repeating pattern around a point for the Pro-Bot to follow, using a set of arrow and number keys mounted on the back.  They had to consider directional language, lengths in centimetres and the angles that were required for the Pro-Bot to turn.  The children also edited their programs when they made errors and retested them.

​Our Year 3 Work...


​​Maths & Coding    

We have been learning how to input codes to make the Pro-Bots move and turn, creating squares and rectangles by turning right angles. 

We also plotted a route for the Pro-Bot to take, instructing it how many centimetres to move and whether to turn left or right for a right angle turn.

E Safety

We worked in groups, discussing different scenarios that could arise while using the computer and shared ideas about how to deal with them.
