Year 5 Computing Lesson Plans

Pupils develop their understanding of variables as named containers that store values which can change during a program.

Building on Year 4 experience with simple if/else, pupils explore nested selection and compound conditions using AND, OR, and NOT operators.

Pupils develop a conceptual understanding of how the internet works — from devices connecting through networks to data travelling as packets.

Pupils work with a larger, real-world-inspired dataset to develop skills in data analysis.
