Key Stage 2

Year 5

Sharing Information

In this lesson, we will introduce the concept of a system. We will develop understanding of components working together to make a whole. We will also explore how digital systems might work and the physical and electronic connections that exist.

Systems

In this lesson, we will consider how larger computer systems work and how devices and processes are connected. We will also reflect on how computer systems can help us.


Computer systems and us

In this lesson, we will introduce the idea that parts of a computer system are not always in the same place or country. Instead, those parts of a system must transfer information using the internet. We will also gain an awareness of IP addresses and the rules (protocols) that computers have for communicating with one another.


Transferring information

In this lesson, we will consider how people can work together when they are not in the same location. We will discuss ways of working and simulate a collaborative online project.

These can be downloaded from the last slide of the worksheet. You should always ask your parent or carer for permission before downloading files from the internet.

Working together

In this lesson, we will develop our collaborative work skills by commenting and suggesting in a shared document. We will also learn how to make comments and suggestions constructive and helpful.
