Understand what algorithms are; how they are
implemented as programs on digital devices; and
that programs execute by following precise and
unambiguous instructions.
Create and debug simple programs.
Use logical reasoning to predict the behaviour of
simple programs.
Use technology purposefully to create, organise,
store, manipulate and retrieve digital content.
Recognise common uses of information technology
beyond school.
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.

use to operate. I know that they need to be precise, step-by-step
sequences for the program to work

National Curriculum Requirements KS2
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.
Understand computer networks including the internet; how
they can provide multiple services, world wide web; and the
opportunities for communication and collaboration.
Use search technologies effectively, appreciate how results
are selected and ranked, and be discerning in evaluating
digital content.
Select, use and combine a variety of software (including
internet services) on a range of digital devices to design
and create a range of programs, systems and content that
accomplish given goals
Use technology safely, respectfully and responsibly;
recognise acceptable/unacceptable behaviour; identify a
range of ways to report concerns about content and
contact.

I can plan, create and debug computer algorithms and sequences of
instructions to solve specific problems. I can use subroutines to break tasks
down into smaller, more manageable tasks

I can sequence instructions which include loops and repetition to make the
program more efficient. I can use variables and a variety of input devices
which help to control the output or end result of a program
I can work logically through a sequence of instructions and explain what will
happen at each point. I can use this to pinpoint possible errors and modify
the sequence where needed, so it works correctly
