To equip learners to become innovative and informed users of technology and to prepare them for the 21st century workforce
Sequencing and Progression
The curriculum map is designed to allow children to build on the skills they have developed. The skills are blocked into four categories, digital productivity, digital creativity, digital citizenship and technology and computing. In addition, e-safety is embedded across the whole curriculum, as well as being taught explicitly once a term and in PSHE throughout the year.
Policies and Documents
AUTUMN TERM
Year 2
The children have been creating simple programs by selecting code blocks, placing them in the correct sequence and executing a program. To do this they have used logical reasoning to predict the behaviour of that program. As the children progress further they are asked to simplify their program by using loops. One of the programmes the children used is below.
Year 6
The children have been using google sites to create a mini website about Ancient Benin. To do this they have had to select their background and layout then edit their research before inserting it into their template. Once completed, images were added and layout was adjusted to achieve the desired effect.

During the half term the children are introduced to the precision needed for digital art, introducing filling pixels and skills that are then developed further in Year 2
