During this half term, we’ll learn about the history of computing, which surprisingly goes back 6000 years to the Antikythera mechanism, and find out how optical fibre cables are used. Through further exploration of modern technology, we’ll learn about some of the amazing people responsible for its development. In our ICT work, we’ll investigate how to decide whether a website is trustworthy and what malware is. We’ll write a thriller based on exciting technology and learn about how robots can help us. We’ll explore how to write an algorithm and how to keep safe online. Then, we’ll listen to and download music and create a mock-up website. We’ll learn all about lasers, and make periscopes and complex circuits. We’ll investigate robotic toys and make our own.
