2. Overview:
More programming software to use in FS/KS1
Control technology in FS/KS1
Further application of ICT in Computing curriculum

3. 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

4. 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.

6. 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.

7. Nested conditionals!

8. Children write their own story or they could program your example.

10. No ipads alternatives to Daisy

11. 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.

12. 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

13. More websites to practise direction instructions on
