‘Computers themselves, and software yet to be developed, will revolutionise the way we learn.’ – Steve Jobs
Computing and technology are integral to our everyday lives now and are likely to become even more so in the future as technology develops and evolves. In computing, our children learn about several aspects of computing and develop a range of skills. They then use these to solve problems with creativity and enthusiasm, preparing them to grow, live and thrive in an increasingly technological world.
To find out more about what the children in each year group learn, please click on the long term plan below.
Year 1
Class One have been programming using Scratch Junior today #y1computing
Class One learning how to use the space bar key and back space key in Computing #y1computing
Class One enjoyed hunting for objects with the same properties in computing today #y1computing
Class one are loving learning about moving robots using commands #y1computing
Year 2
Class 2 are computing superstars. They have planned and programmed their own rocket race,using scratch. What a great job they did! #y2computing
Class 2 are fantastic photographers! They have been practising taking medium shots and extreme close ups. #y2art #y2computing
As part of Safer Internet Day, Class 2 have been learning about voice assistants. We discussed what they can do and how we can use them safely. #y2computing
Class 2 have been programming Beebot using left, right, forwards and backwards. #y2geography #y2computing
Year 3
Class 3 have been programming and recording instructions to show how we control and change characters on Scratch #y3computing
Class 3 have been planning and designing a magazine in computing #y3computing
Class 3 have been exploring how to change font style, size and colour this afternoon. We also learnt how to use the shift key to add capital letters, exclamation marks and question marks #y3computing
#internetsafetyweek #y3computing #ourschool We have been looking at the positives and negatives of AI voice assistants this morning! 🔈🔇 Ask is what we think 😃
#y3computing
We’re reaching the end of our programming unit! We have learn SO much! We can use Scratch (this can be accessed at home for free) to create various sprites and backgrounds, make them move, make them make noise and change their costumes. Have a go at home! 😃
Year 4
We’ve had fun using Scratch to animate the letters of our name #y4computing
We have gone from writing simple codes to writing procedures to design our own wrapping paper #y4computing
We know how to be smart and stay safe on the internet. Please ask us about it #y4computing
We’ve been learning about the pros and cons of AI. Please ask us about it #saferinternetday2026 #y4computing
We are beginning to write our own code snippets #y4computing
Year 5
Class 5 have been learning how to group shapes together #y5computing
Today we organised information on a database to help us answer questions #y5computing
Class 5 have been learning all about how to use AI safely. We made leaflets sharing how we can stay safe online #y5computing
Class 5 have enjoyed coding using crumble kits this week #y5computing
Year 6
Class 6 LOVED using the new laptops to input data on Excel #y6computing
Class 6 have been exploring the safe and responsible use of AI during our internet Safety Day today. We really reinforced the importance of staying safe online when chatting with AI Chatbots #y6computing #ourschool
