Writing for purpose.
Algorithms
Animation: In this unit
Floor turtle routes.
Simulations.
Databases.
In this unit children
identify the different
forms information can
take (text, images, audio,
sound) and that
information can be
personal eg age, address.
They develop their sense
of how information can be
used and their own safety.
Children will explore how
to create using a two
forms of media (Text and
images). They will develop
techniques edit, organise
and store content for a
given purpose.
Algorithms are a process
or set of rules to be
followed in calculations
or other problem solving
operations, especially by
a computer. This unit
enables
children to understand
how a computer is
programmed to carry
out simple steps and/or
instructions and the
importance of clear
accurate instructions.
children will evaluate
simple animations and
explain why they think
an animation is good.
They will discuss ideas
with peers and share
their
ideas through animation.
They will animate simple
objects, developing skills
of fluidity and apply this
to a simple scene.
Children will explore
how to create
animations and discuss
how they could improve
them
The unit develops
children's understanding
of programming
sequences of commands
on multiple devices,
starting from the floor
robot to the screen.
Computers are used to
control many types of
devices such as robots. The
computers controlling the
robots must be
programmed with
instructions to tell them
what to do. The programs
are written in computer
languages. Logo is one
such language. The
children should be given
opportunity to predict and
reason what
may happen to the turtle.
Computer simulations can
In this unit children
understand that data can
exist in a variety of forms,
including in databases. They
will explore a branching
database and answer
simple questions. They will
focus on sorting and
grouping data using yes/no
questions. Children will
create a simple branching
database, test, review and
debug
content.

represent real or imaginary
situations. They allow users to
study or try things that would
be difficult or impossible to do
in real life. Simulations are
particularly useful when a real
life process is; too dangerous,
takes too long, is too quick to
study or is too expensive to
create.
Learning from Simulations:
Children should use
simulations to make and
explore predictions and to
identify patterns and
relationships.
