Year 1
Computing Systems and Networks: Year 1 start the year by developing their understanding of technology and how it can help them in their everyday lives. The children will start to become familiar with the different components of a computer by developing their keyboard and mouse skills. They will also consider how to use technology responsibly and who to ask for help if they see any content or comments online that make them feel uncomfortable. Children are introduced to typing on a keyboard and will find out how they can create and change text.
Creating Media: The children will explore the world of digital art and use their knowledge to create their own pieces.
Programming: Year 1 will build on their programming knowledge from EYFS, by controlling floor robots and using this knowledge to predict the outcome of programmes and are introduced to the term algorithm.
Data and Information: The children will learn how to label items and then sort them into groups and then answer simple questions.
