As part of their new topic “Lightning Speed”, the Year 4 children have been learning about networks.

We went on a network hunt around the school to see how all of our devices are connected to the main server.

We then used drama to recreate a LAN (local area network) where children took on different roles in a network. The string represented the wires and cables. The laptop was not connected via wires because it is a wireless connection.

We simulated different tasks such as printing a document, opening a webpage and editing a document. Well done, Year 4!
