KS1 Computing
Pupils will be taught to:
- Understand what algorithms are; how they are implemented as programs on digital devices; and that programs execute by following precise and unambiguous instructions.
|
- Create and debug simple programs.
|
- Use logical reasoning to predict the behaviour of simple programs.
|
- Use technology purposefully to create, organise, store, manipulate and retrieve digital content.
|
- Recognise common uses of information technology beyond school.
|
- Use technology safely and respectfully, keeping personal information private; identify where to go for help and support when they have concerns about content or contact on the internet or other online technologies.
|
KS2 Computing
Pupils will be taught to:
- Design, write and debug programs that accomplish specific goals, including controlling or simulating physical systems; solve problems by decomposing them into smaller parts
|
- Use sequence, selection, and repetition in programs; work with variables and various forms of input and output.
|
- Use logical reasoning to explain how some simple algorithms work and to detect and correct errors in algorithms and programs.
|
- Understand computer networks including the internet; how they can provide multiple services, such as the world wide web; and the opportunities they offer for communication and collaboration.
|
- Use search technologies effectively, appreciate how results are selected and ranked, and be discerning in evaluating digital content.
|
- Select, use and combine a variety of software (including internet services) on a range of digital devices to design and create a range of programs, systems and content that accomplish given goals, including collecting, analysing, evaluating and presenting data and information.
|
- Use technology safely, respectfully and responsibly; recognise acceptable/unacceptable behaviour; identify a range of ways to report concerns about content and contact.
