FS Y1 Y2 Understand what algorithms are Create simple programs Children will understand that instructions need to be given in a correct order Create correct set of instructions using symbols (called an algorithm) Y1 Understand what algorithms are Create simple programs Y2 Understand that algorithms are implemented as programs on digital devices Understand that programs execute by following precise and unambiguous instructions Debug simple programs Use logical reasoning to predict the behaviour of simple programs
Daisy Dinosaur FS2, Y1 and Y2 Discuss/explore what will happen when instructions are given in a sequence. Give a challenge and using symbols printed, chn give the correct sequence of instructions (algorithm). Test their algorithm out using themselves as Daisy. Test on Daisy the Dinosaur app. Plan a short ‘story’ for a sprite and write the commands for this (Test on each other before programming on the app). Edit/refine their program. Y2 – Above, plus… Use the ‘repeat’ (loop) and ‘when’ (conditional statement) command within a series of instructions.
If I want Daisy to end up on the right end of the screen (where the sun is) by the end of this program, will this program work? Show me what commands you would use.
Nested conditionals!
Children write their own story or they could program your example.

Control in FS/KS1 To start with, break down, or chunk, the sections of the grid mazes. We will write a symbol code and act out these instructions in chunks first. We write the first section of the maze. Test it. Then clear it from our board. Then repeat.
Directional vocabulary Write algorithm in 2s to go through masking tape maze. (This is predicting) 1 act as robot and carry out algorithm Correct or not? Where did it go wrong? Now carry out the algorithm on a programmable toy if available
