By breaking down a story into individual elements and rearranging them , the Reception children have learned the importance of following a sequence. They have used this computational thinking process to understand the order of stories and rhymes.

By breaking down a story into individual elements and rearranging them , the Reception children have learned the importance of following a sequence. They have used this computational thinking process to understand the order of stories and rhymes.
The Years 1 and 2 have been using commands in different orders to investigate how the order affects the outcome. They also learned about designing in programs, designing their own algorithms as programs and debugging them.
This term the Years 5 and 6 have been developing their understanding of computer systems and how information is transferred between systems and devices. They have discovered how information is found on the World Wide Web, what influences searching, how results are selected and ranked, and the similarities and differences of individual search engines.
This term the Years 3 and 4 have been developing their understanding of digital devices. They have compared digital and non-digital devices and discussed the relationship between inputs, processes and outputs. They have also looked at computer networks, including devices that make up a network infrastructure, such as wireless access points and switches.
The Years 1 and 2 have been developing their understanding of what Information Technology (IT) is and discussing where it can be seen. They have explored the benefits of IT in the wider world and role played how devices can work together in familiar places such as shops. They also considered how to use IT safely and discussed the different rules that might be associated with using them.
Reception have been looking at what computers are and how they can be seen all around us. To become more familiar with computers, we have created our own junk model laptops, looked at different inputs and outputs and used some simple drawing apps.
In computing this term, the Year 3 and 4s have been developing strategies for finding errors in programs. They have looked at some of the different types of bugs found in coding and have learned that collaboration and resilience is key to finding and correcting these types of problems.
This term is computing, the Reception children have been focusing on the importance of sequencing by breaking down popular tales and rearranging them. We have learned that stories or events are better told in chronological order and algorithms help us achieve this in computing.
East Norfolk Sixth Form visited school with a Lego workshop and Diamond Class learned to code through playful problem solving.
