KS2 |
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 Appreciate how 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 and content that accomplish given goals, including collecting, analysing, evaluating and presenting data and information |

We mostly use Purple Mash as a scheme of work.
In the Early Years Foundation Stage (Nursery and Reception) children work towards the Early Learning Goal for Technology, Understanding the World:
Children recognise that a range of technology is used in places such as homes and schools. They select and use technology for particular purposes.
