Coding:

Computing:

Pupils should be taught to:

• 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

3D Design:

Design and Technology :

When designing and making, pupils should be taught to:

Design:

• Use research and develop design criteria to inform the design of innovative, functional,

appealing products that are fit for purpose, aimed at particular individuals or groups

• Generate, develop, model and communicate their ideas through discussion, annotated

sketches, cross-sectional and exploded diagrams, prototypes, pattern pieces and computer-

aided design

Evaluate:

• Evaluate their ideas and products against their own design criteria and consider the views of

others to improve their work

Digital Mapping:

Geography :

Pupils should be taught to:

Geographical skills and fieldwork:

• Use maps, atlases and digital/computer mapping to locate countries and describe features

studied
