Short "Algorithms and Programming" Computing Unit KS2

This “Algorithms and Programming” unit is designed for Key Stage 2 students, which is based on the national curriculum. The unit aims to introduce students to the concepts of algorithms, and how they are used to solve problems. It also covers the basic concepts of programming, such as variables, loops, and conditionals. Additionally, it provides an opportunity for students to use a visual programming language to create simple programs, and develop debugging skills to identify and correct errors in their programs. Each lesson includes interactive activities, group work and practical tasks and each lesson has a specific learning objective. The unit concludes with a final project where students will be encouraged to be creative and innovative as they apply what they’ve learned. Assessment throughout the unit is formative and summative, providing students with regular feedback and an opportunity to showcase their final project at the end.
