Light Oaks Junior School Year 5 Computing Curriculum

Light Oaks Junior School Year 5 Computing Curriculum The computing curriculum across all year groups will be made up of six units; - Algorithms and Programs - Data Retrieving and Organising - Communicating - Using the internet - Databases - Presentation A seventh element Digital Literacy (E-Safety) is integrated across the curriculum, focusing on teaching children how to become discerning and safe users of digital technologies. Year 3 has a shorter Presentation unit due to the need for an introductory focus on basic keyboard skills and Digital Literacy. Learning Outcomes Learning outcomes are given for each unit in each year group, along with some lesson, resource and program suggestions. Algorithms and Programs Glossary: Sequence – the step-by-step nature of computer programs, mirroring the sequence of steps the algorithm would list. Input – data provided to a computer system, such as via a keyboard, mouse, microphone, camera or physical sensors Output - the information produced by a computer system for its user, typically on a screen, through speakers or on a printer, but possibly though the control of motors in physical systems. Algorithm - an unambiguous procedure or precise step-by-step guide to solve a problem or achieve a particular objective.

National Curriculum Requirements of Computing at Key Stage 2 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 • 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 • 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. • Use technology safely, respectfully and responsibly; recognise acceptable/unacceptable behaviour; identify a range of ways to report concerns about content and contact © Focus Education 2014 2

Schools will need to review and amend their approaches to e-safety in order to take on board and address changes to technology. © Focus Education 2014 5

Year 5: PRESENTATION Lesson Objectives Lesson idea Externals & Software Used Assessment 1 • I can use the word count tool to check the length of a document. • I can use bullets and numbering tools. Children use word to produce an information text or instruction leaflet. Word Children will be able to use the word count tool , bullets and numbering tools. 2 • I know how to prepare and then present a simple film. • I can use ICT to record sounds and capture both still and video images. • I can capture sounds, images and video. Children create a documentary film about Europe and rivers, or a historical documentary about the Anglo. Saxons. Children can write a script for their piece to tie into English objectives.
