In computing this term we have started to investigate what a computing system is and how networks are created. 

We looked last week at the structure of a network and saw that it was made of up of a switch and a router. These are key in helping delivering messages across the network providing the internet we have today and use so much in our daily life.

We have also started to look at what the internet is made up of and explored the difference between a website (hosts all the webpages) and a webpage (this is a single page with information). We then had to go onto 3 different websites and write down all the things that we could find on them. This meant typing in the correct website address starting with www (world wide web). We even visited the St Vincent’s school website and looked at all the fun things going on in the other year groups.

Well done Year 4 on a superb computing lesson, you are all computer wizards!

    I would like to learn about how the computing system works? Amazing how you can learn so many nice things from the different child friendly websites like Kiddle.

  9. We learnt about the router and how messages are passed on to each other.We played this game where we got to write a message to our friends and the teacher chose a router in our group and we would pass them to the router and the router would pass them to our friends

  10. I personally thought that this lesson was fun

  11. This was so fun. Why can’t we do computing every morning!?
