Year 2 Spring 1 – Programming A – Robot algorithms
This unit develops children’s understanding of instructions in sequences and the use of logical reasoning to predict outcomes. Pupils will use given commands in different orders to investigate how the order affects the outcome. Pupils 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.
Online Safety
The children will learn to use technology safely and respectfully, keeping personal information private; identify where to go for help and support when they have concerns about content or contact on the internet or other online technologies in the context of identifying appropriate websites for children.
They will learn to recognise whether a website is appropriate for children.
