To have a clear understanding of algorithms as sequences of instructions
To convert simple algorithms to programs
To predict what a simple program will do
To spot and fix (debug) errors in your programs.
I know what instructions and algorithms are and how they are used
I can give instructions to tell my partner where to go.
I can write down my instructions (algorithm).
I can give instructions to (programme) to find the treasure.
I can fix problems in my algorithm and work out if it will work.
All children should be able to:
1 – Open the Sencolewis.co.uk website
2 - Watch the introduction video
3 - Follow a simple algorithm to reach the treasure!
Most Children should be able to:
Complete 1 - 3
4 - Create own algorithm using coding stickers to make their treasure map
5 - Work in pairs to walk the algorithm
Some Children should be able to:
Complete 1 - 5
6 - Debug their algorithm
7 - Share their algorithm and follow algorithms of other people
