Year 2
This unit develops learners’ understanding of instructions in sequences and the use of logical reasoning to predict outcomes. Learners will use given commands in different orders to investigate how the order affects the outcome. They will also learn about design in programming. They will develop artwork and test it for use in a program. They will design algorithms and then test those algorithms as programs and debug them.
Children read the book about Digiduck and discussed the dangers of sharing images online without permission.
To describe a series of instructions as a sequence
● I can follow instructions given by someone else
● I can choose a series of words that can be acted out as a sequence
● I can give clear instructions
To explain what happens when we change the order of instructions
I can use the same instructions to create different algorithms
I can use an algorithm to program a sequence on a floor robot
I can show the difference in outcomes between two sequences that consist of the same commands
Learners will focus on sequences, and consider the importance of the order of instructions within a sequence. They will create sequences using the same instructions in different orders. They will then test these sequences to see how the different orders affect the outcome.
Children used their prior knowledge from last term and took photographs of each other at the museum.
Safer Internet Day, coordinated by the UK Safer Internet Centre, is an annual celebration aiming to raise awareness of emerging online issues and concerns amongst young people, from cyberbullying to social networking to digital identity.
