Introduction to HTML - Computing Scheme of Work (4 Lessons) | KS2 / Lower KS3

This 4-lesson Computing Scheme of Work introduces pupils to the fundamentals of HTML and how the web works, designed for KS2 / Lower KS3 learners. This engaging unit provides a practical and accessible starting point for pupils beginning their journey into coding and web development.

Throughout the topic, pupils develop an understanding of how the World Wide Web works, learning that it is a vast collection of websites accessed through browsers. They are introduced to HTML (HyperText Markup Language) and how it is used to structure and create web pages.

Pupils learn to write and use basic HTML tags, building their own simple web pages using a text editor. They explore how changing code affects what is displayed in a browser, helping them develop key skills in coding, problem-solving, and debugging.

By the end of the unit, pupils will have created their own basic webpage, applying their knowledge of HTML structure and tags while gaining a clear understanding of how websites are built.
