Computing
Intent
In Computing, we prepare pupils to participate in a rapidly changing world in which work and other activities are increasingly transformed by access to varied and developing technology. We recognise that computing is an important tool in both the society we live in and in the process of teaching and learning. Pupils use different tools to find, explore, analyse, exchange and present information responsibly and creatively.
They learn how to employ computing to enable access to ideas and experiences from a wide range of sources. Our aim is for all learners in our school to be confident in their use of technology so that they can develop the skills, knowledge and understanding which enables them to use the appropriate resources effectively as powerful tools for learning.
Aims and Objectives
The national curriculum for computing aims to ensure that all pupils:
- can understand and apply the fundamental principles and concepts of computer science, including abstraction, logic, algorithms and data representation
- can analyse problems in computational terms, and have repeated practical experience of writing computer programs in order to solve such problems
- can evaluate and apply information technology, including new or unfamiliar technologies, analytically to solve problems
- are responsible, competent, confident and creative users of information and communication technology.Â

This afternoon #OLGHy6 continued to explore podcasting. Today children familiarised themselves with the Audacity program, they interviewed each other to become use to the program and then explored the different effects they can put in. #OLGHcomputing @OLGHLiverpool
This afternoon #OLGHy5 started to plan their Stop Motion Animation Films. Children created a basic outline on a storyboard, they then started to create their backgrounds using Sketchpad. #OLGHcomputing
@OLGHLiverpool
Yesterday #OLGHy2 started to look at Databases. We discussed the different types of databases that you can have as well as what you need to include. Children then started to collect some information to create a digital database next lesson. #OLGHcomputing @OLGHLiverpool
Yesterday #OLGHy1 have started to look at how to code a Beebot. Children had a chance to explore the different inputs they could give to the Beebot and cerated a help sheet. @OLGHLiverpool #OLGHcomputing
This afternoon #OLGHy6 have started a new topic, Podcasting. Children spent the lesson researching a topic they would like to discuss for their podcasts. @OLGHLiverpool #OLGHcomputing
#OLGHY5 have started their new topic Stop motion and discussed how it is used to create films. We then looked at Pivot Animator and the children created an animation. @OLGHLiverpool #OLGHcomputing
Yesterday #OLGHy1 have been recapping what Algorithms are a. Children had to create algorithms to get a robot to complete different levels, we focused on moving forward and how we can use the turn right and left blocks to change direction. #OLGHcomputing @OLGHLiverpool
This week #OLGHy5 have been using a Micro:bit to create a game. We focused on how we can use create different characters on the arrays and how we have to use the X and Y axis to position it. #OLGHcomputing @OLGHLiverpool
This week #OLGHy6 has been having a discussion about Digital footprint and why we have PEGI ratings on games. Children worked to look at why we have age ratings on apps and games and how they can impact our digital footprint. @OLGHLiverpool #OLGHcomputing
