Computing - What is a website?

 Today Year 4 have been exploring websites in Computing. We discussed the features of websites and thought about whether all websites were the same. We talked about how anyone can add anything to the web, and how it is really important that we consider carefully the types of things that we share online. We then used 2 different internet services to see how content is created online in both Scratch and Chrome Music Lab.

When the weather is good they go out on many expeditions as well as researching many subjects such as the magnetic field.  A big thank you to one student who brought in pieces of a salt basin from Portugal which we learnt about a few weeks ago. So light to hold and although the children were told not to taste them, one did and confirmed it was very salty!
