The Computing curriculum at Denbigh aims to equip our children with a foundation of skills, knowledge and understanding of computing that they will need for the rest of their lives. Through a variety of learning experiences from both Teachers and experts from the Computing field, they learn how computers and computer systems work, they design and build programs and machines, develop their ideas using technology and create a range of content. Through this the children develop a knowledge of computing language and how this impacts on Society equipping them with the tools to be good digital citizens.
Year 5 Dolphins completed their Computing unit with Mr Brown yesterday. We were learning how to program a mini computer called a Raspberry Pi (sadly not food related!) using Scratch to create different algorithms. We also had a go at coding LED lights to create Morse Code messages. #dcpsdolphin #dcpscomputing #dcpscore
Dragons have been getting into their new topic this week, Out of this World. We have learned the names of the planets in the solar system and put them in order. Then we used our iPads to research facts about different planets and the Sun, to make our own information posters. #dcpsdragon #dcpscomputing #dcpscore
The Dinos had to use every resilient bone in their bodies to construct and program a Lego WeDo to make it move. They carefully followed a series of instructions to make a Lego model which then needed to be programmed with an algorithm to make it perform an action. Lots of debugging and teamwork was involved with fantastic results. #dcpsdinosaur #dcpscomputing #dcpscore
Dragons had a go at building and programming this week as part of their computing unit. They showed fantastic teamwork, resilience and problem solving skills, building fantastic models and creating an algorithm to make them move. #dcpsdragon #dcpscomputing #dcpscore
