OBJECTIVES
• To understand requirements of the new Computing curriculum for KS1 and 2 from September 2014
• To understand why programming and sequencing is important in EYFS
• To provide practical ways of teaching the new curriculum and making it fun!
• To signpost supporting resources

WHY THE CHANGE?
Computing programme of study

WHAT IS COMPUTING?• Three aspects
• Computer Science (CS)
• Information Technology (IT)
• Digital Literacy (DL)
• CS (Core) - knowledge of how technology works combined with practical application of programming
![Page 5: The new Primary Computing Curriculum presentation nursery2primary show 2014 - Icon Learning](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051610/5496d345b47959794d8b50f2/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
WHAT IS COMPUTING?
The core of computing is computer science, in which pupils are taught the principles of information and computation, how digital systems work and how to put this knowledge to use through programming.
Building on this knowledge and understanding, pupils are equipped to use information technology to create programs, systems and a range of content.
Computing also ensures that pupils become digitally literate – able to use, and express themselves and develop their ideas through, information and communication technology – at a level suitable for the future workplace and as active participants in a digital world.

KEY STAGE 1• 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
• Create, organise, store, manipulate and retrieve digital content in a range of formats
• 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
![Page 7: The new Primary Computing Curriculum presentation nursery2primary show 2014 - Icon Learning](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051610/5496d345b47959794d8b50f2/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
KEY STAGE 2• 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
![Page 8: The new Primary Computing Curriculum presentation nursery2primary show 2014 - Icon Learning](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051610/5496d345b47959794d8b50f2/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
KEY STAGE 2 CONT.• Appreciate how [search] results are selected and ranked
• Use search technologies effectively
• 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 …including collecting, analysing, evaluating and presenting data and information
• Understand the opportunities [networks] offer for communication and collaboration
• Be discerning in evaluating digital content
• Use technology safely, respectfully and responsibly; recognise acceptable/unacceptable behaviour; identify a range of ways to report concerns about content and contact

ALGORITHMS
A precise step-by-step guide to solve a problem or achieve a particular objective
![Page 11: The new Primary Computing Curriculum presentation nursery2primary show 2014 - Icon Learning](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051610/5496d345b47959794d8b50f2/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
DE-BUGGING• The art of fixing or
correcting algorithms or programming code.
• It’s ok if it doesn't work!
![Page 12: The new Primary Computing Curriculum presentation nursery2primary show 2014 - Icon Learning](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051610/5496d345b47959794d8b50f2/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
ASPECTS OF PROGRAMMING
• Sequencing
• Selection / conditional (if)
• Repetition (loops)
• Variables (can change or be changed)
• Abstraction (simplification)
![Page 13: The new Primary Computing Curriculum presentation nursery2primary show 2014 - Icon Learning](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051610/5496d345b47959794d8b50f2/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
