KS2: Objectives
Algorithms
• Algorithms can be
represented symbolically
[flowcharts] or using
instructions in a clearly
defined language [turtle
graphics].
• Algorithms can include
selection (if) and repetition
(loops).
Programs
• A computer program is a
sequence of instructions written
to perform a specified task with a
computer.
• The idea of a program as a
sequence of statements written
in a programming language
[Scratch]
• One or more mechanisms for
selecting which statement
sequence will be executed, based
upon the value of some data item
• One or more mechanisms for
repeating the execution of a
sequence of statements, and
using the value of some data item
to control the number of times
the sequence is repeated
KS3: Objectives
Algorithms
Programs
• An algorithm is a sequence
of precise steps to solve a
given problem.
• A single problem may be
solved by several different
algorithms.
• The need for accuracy of
both algorithm and data
[difficulty of data
verification; garbage in,
garbage out]
• Variables and assignment.
• The use of relational
operators and logic to
control which program
statements are executed,
and in what order
– Simple use of AND, OR and
NOT
– Use of comparison operators

Summary
• Creating Formula One drivers
• Creative and cross curricular (Rose Report 2009)
• Dependencies exist between DL, CS and IT
• Pedagogy (Challenging perceptions and expectations)
• Computer Science is more than just programming!
• Curriculum alignment
• Silent ‘C’ (Computing) in STEM
• Even more silent ‘C’ (Creativity) in STEM
