Networks and the Internet - Computing Planning - Year 5 - Year 6

As above, a unit of work teaching children about Networks, the Internet, the World Wide Web and some basic HTML coding.

The first three lessons are teaching specific computer science knowledge, outlined on the National Curriculum, about Networks and the Internet. These only require children to know about the Information Technology that they find at school and possibly at home and can be completed with straightforward digital literacy skills (PowerPoint/Word and use of a Search Engine). The last two lessons involve using some online guides and tutorials to build some very basic HTML code to create simple web pages - no sign ups, logins or additional purchases necessary.

All planning and resources included, some lessons have additional Teacher Notes to support subject knowledge and free online resources are linked to in the planning.
