Year 6 – Webpage Creation

Year 6 – Webpage Creation

Project Overview

To start the unit, the children first looked at what a website was. We discussed the different websites we use in day to day life, which ones are easy to navigate and which ones are slightly trickier. The children then looked at different purposes of website and the information we would expect to see on them such as a school website or a gaming website. Once we had looked at and identified useful features we then went on to design our own. The topic was linked to our geography topic “The UK”. The children had to plan what their website would look like, research their own information and then set it out appropriately using the correct format. The children worked over many weeks on their projects making sure the graphics were well thought out, it was easy to navigate and it was informative enough to meet the success criteria. 

What The Student Says

"It was  fun to learn a new skill. I didn't know how to link pages before but now I do." "I learnt how to do add videos and music to my webpage. It made the webpage more exciting." "I loved making my own web page about something I was interested in. It was good to have a success criteria to follow so I knew I was making a website that was easy to use."

What skills were developed?

  • discussed the different types of media used on websites
  •  recognised the common features of a web page
  • found copyright-free images
  • added content to their own web page
  • made multiple web pages and linked them using hyperlinks
  •  evaluated the user experience of a website

What the Teacher says

The children have worked extremely hard on their webpages. They were so independent and wanted to create some informative pages. The children went above and beyond and managed to include features that they hadn't even been shown. All children thought carefully about how their page should look and the logistics behind it. They should all be proud of how professional their webpages look.
