This powerpoint was created by myself as an introduction to Beebots as part of a 4 lesson scheme for Year 1. Document included which has the lesson plans, plan of progression and an assessment criteria. I have used information from various wesbites to create this scheme. It has detailed lesson plans and explains the success criteria of the lesson. The First powerpoint recaps; the instructions on a beebot, algorithms, group roles, synchronised beebots and dancing beebots. Lesson 2 powerpoint was created by myself as part of a 4 lesson scheme for Year 1,- it recaps beebot instructions, algorithms, group roles, control iboard activity on TES.Children should use this powerpoint as a starter to drawing with their beebots on sugar paper. Lesson 3 powerpoint was created by myself as an final lesson as part of a 4 lesson scheme for Year 1. This lesson involves recapping the beebot instructions, algorithms, group roles, shows beebot trying to follow a route on a map, allows children to have a go at directing the beebots. Task is for children to write an algorithm for the beebot to follow. Ends with the alligator algorithm chant (not my work). Group roles work best if children work in groups of 3 and have stickers for each role throughout all lessons. (None of the media in the Powerpoint is owned by myself) Please comment :)

A simple drag and drop interactive whiteboard resource aimed at introducing data handling to Rec>Y3 aged children. 7 PowerPoint slides designed to approach Pictograms\Pictographs in 3 different ways. Subjects: Fruit, colour, transport, pets, cake and pizza.

50 pages - 10 differentiated project ideas - plus blank sheets for your own projects. These differentiated project planning sheets, offer 2, 3 and 4 scene boxes plus many topic ideas and all the ScratchJr blocks to plan with. Prepared on A4 sheets to give students a organised space to plan their own Scratch Jr projects on paper before building them with the device. Planning and explaining the code, before building, is a great process for developing fluency and confidence with Scratch Jr, and programming in general. Equally, once students have built something they are proud of, recording the process to teach peers is a great review of their learning. This reflective process can really open up quality discussions and opportunities for children to explain their thinking and record their learning. ScratchJr serves as a beginner’s coding language, empowering children between the ages of 5 and 7 to craft their own captivating stories and animations. By simply connecting graphical programming blocks, kids can bring characters to life, making them move, speak, dance, and interact. With the paint editor, children can customize characters, incorporating their unique voices, sounds, and even personal photos. The programming blocks serve as the magic wand, enabling children to animate their characters and unleash their imagination. ScratchJr is available free from the Apple and Android stores,plus on desktops using the GitHub site. Great starter projects can be found by searching for ScrathJr’s own site too, to help students learn what the blocks can do.

This unit has been designed written for the Key Stage 1 Computing Curriculum, looking at the following NC objectives: 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 There is a sequence of 9 lessons, that progressively build on skills learnt on the app. The sequence of lessons pushes, from lesson 6 to 8, on the Key Stage 2 curriculum and would be suitable for teaching in Year 3. There are 9 lessons in the unit, on the following topics: Lesson 1- Scratch Jr Unplugged Lesson 2- Scratch Jr Tinkering Lesson 3- Movement Introduction Lesson 4- Movement application Lesson 5- Scenes Lesson 6- Action Blocks Lesson 7- Timing Lesson 8- Adding Controls Lesson 9- Project application/ assessment These resources have been made by our ICT Education Specialist, who is a qualified Primary School Teacher, for her work when delivering computing in schools. We work with schools all over the East Midlands, teaching, supporting writing the computing curriculum and delivering affordable CPD sessions for teachers.

This clear, detailed and visually-appealing resource helps to detail and categorise the foundation Computing learning that takes place in the EYFS stage. It is an important resource for EYFS teachers and parents, but also Computing subject leaders, to aid them in the development of a clearly-mapped and well-sequenced Computing curriculum across the school. This organiser groups the Computing-related learning into the relevant EYFS areas of learning - for Computing, this is mainly the ‘Technology’ element of the ‘Understanding the World’ learning area. A small section on ‘Online Safety’ is also included. The resource is designed to be printed onto A3 or A4, and is provided as both a PDF and a Word version (so that you can edit if you want to). All images used are licensed for commercial use and are cited on a separate document (included).

15 slides all about the basics of ICT health and safety

This is a great resource for taking learners step by step through many of the basic stages of creating a powerpoint. It can be displayed clearly on the Interactive Whiteboard and there are screenshots and arrows which show learners exactly what to select. It covers -adding text adding images changing backgrounds using transitions

This sheet is suitable for children across the Primary age range. Children are given a prompt to give instructions, to direct a Bee Bot around a treasure map.

The topic of this Philosophy Boxes download is ‘E-Safety & Cyberbullying’. It is one of a series of PSHE-P4C sessions designed for KS2-4 PSHE students. The download comprises a P4C lesson/session that can be used multiple times with the same group. This download is also relevant to all teachers of Computer Science, ICT and Computing. The Philosophy Boxes Method is a new approach to PSHE designed for students in KS2-4: it is graphically stimulating, engaging, and fun. This download is also suitable for older students: but the format was designed with younger students in mind. In this context: ‘Philosophy Boxes’ represents a more student-centred ‘debate & discussion’ approach to PSHE issues. The aim of our ‘Philosopy Boxes’ PSHE sessions is to bring deep, critical thinking to PSHE, exploring PSHE using P4C (Philosophy for Children) debates and discussions. One advantage to the method is that it helps students to practice their social skills through the activities. The Philosophy Boxes Method presents students with a set of ‘mystery boxes’, when a student selects one of the boxes they are presented with 1 of 21 discussion/debate activities (in 8 different formats). The presentation has integrated AfL so that teachers can test knowledge at any point in the lesson. There are 10 different AfL slides to choose from. The design is colourful, animated, fun and engaging: all activities require movement and teachers can decide whether students are expressing their ideas purely verbally or by using post-it notes. The nature of the design is that it can be used for short sessions (5-10 minutes) or much longer sessions (up to 2 hours!) - it allows for classroom practitioners to be flexible and adaptable. It can, therefore, be used in lessons or as a tutor-time activity. Choose from out complete selection of our ‘Philosophy Boxes’ PSHE lessons here. You can also save money by purchasing lessons as a complete 20-session collection here!

A whole unit of work which embeds Entry Level Functional Skills ICT (could be used up to Low Ability Level 1) based around the topic of ‘Video Games’. Tasks Include: Research PowerPoint Using Publisher Using Excel Searching the internet

use this for teaching Logic gates, Teacher must have knowledge of Logic gates before hand

Here is a list of some websites that I have found very useful! I hope there might be something new there for you :)

In this session children apply what they found out in the previous session about internet games to create their own Saving the Planet computer game. Whose will be most enjoyable? Which game will encourage us to do things differently?

Children complete their presentations started in Session 10, bringing together the information they have collected in previous weeks and images selected from the internet. Children watch the presentations and give feedback to their peers.
