Why the shift to Computing?

What do the changes mean for you in

your school?

10.15 – 10.35 Break for Tea and Coffee

10.35 – 11.35 Session 2

Unpicking the new curriculum

What does it mean for Key Stage 1?

11.35- 12.00 Session 3

Purple Mash Demonstration

12.00 -13.00 Lunch and Networking

13.00 -13.20 Introducing Algorithms in Key Stage 2

13.20 -14.10 Session 4 -An introduction to Scratch

14.10 -15.00 Session 5 - An introduction to Kodu

15.00- 15.30 Session 6- Next steps and Evaluation

Computer Science Digital LiteracyKey Stage 1Pupils should 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

Key Stage 1Pupils should be taught to:• 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

Key Stage 2Pupils should 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

Key Stage 2Pupils should be taught to • 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

Key Stage 1

Key Features of Digital Literacy in Key Stage 1

• Create, organise, store, manipulate and retrieve• Common uses of information technology beyond the school• Use technology safely

• Using a word processor and saving work• Taking photographs and storing on the computer• Recording an MP3 file and saving on a computer• Making a presentation

Key Stage 1

In Key Stage 1 pupils should be taught to understand what algorithms are, how they are implemented as programs on digital devices, and that programs execute by following a sequence of instructions

Using BeeBots

Simple programming languageOnly has 7 commandsVery KS1 and EYFS friendlyReally good for work on AlgorithmsLots of ready made resources onlinewww.kenttrustweb.org.uk

Write and test simple programs
