Computing(It’s not that scary!)

It’s just scary language!

can analyse problems in computational terms, and have repeated practical experience of writing computer programs in order to solve such problems

The national curriculum for computing aims to ensure that all pupils:

can evaluate and apply information technology, including new or unfamiliar technologies, analytically to solve problems

The national curriculum for computing aims to ensure that all pupils:

are responsible, competent, confident and creative users of information and communication technology.

The national curriculum for computing aims to ensure that all pupils:

can understand and apply the fundamental principles and concepts of computer science, including abstraction, logic, algorithms and data representation

The national curriculum for computing aims to ensure that all pupils:

Algorithm Logic Data representation

Vocabulary

1. understand what algorithms are; how they are implemented as programs on digital devices; and that programs execute by following precise and unambiguous instructions

2. create and debug simple programs 3. use logical reasoning to predict the behaviour of simple

programs 4. use technology purposefully to create, organise, store,

manipulate and retrieve digital content 5. recognise common uses of information technology beyond

school 6. 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.

What is going to happen here?

How about here?

What about this?

What’s the problem here?

Now explore the lessons for your phase You need to teach your children the basics

first – even in Year 6. How might you do this?

How and when are you going to do this? It has to be done this term…

How will you evaluate the impact of what you do?

Over to you…
