Year 5 - Computing

Date: 18th Mar 2026 @ 5:27pm

Yesterday in Computing during Together Time, Year 5 stepped back in time to 1912 as they explored a database of Titanic passengers! The children learned how databases help us store, organise, and search large amounts of information.

Using the Titanic database, Year 5 practised using AND and OR search functions to find specific information.

• They used AND to narrow their searches, such as “passenger AND first class” to find people who met both conditions.
• They used OR to broaden their searches, such as “male OR crew”, to include more results.
