A unit of work teaching children how to use a word processor to created typed writing. There are five direct teaching lessons and then two suggested lessons in which children apply what they have learnt to create a typed document including their own writing about a topic subject and images and other text related objects. The planning is aimed at windows systems and use of microsoft word, but could be done on google docs or PurpleMash with little or no changes of the resources. Each session includes a main activity, greater depth questions and a presentation to aid input and deliver the activities. Seven Lessons: LO: To know how to place typing on the page. LO: To know how to change the case of letters. LO: To know how to format text. LO: To know how to cut, copy and paste. LO: To know how to arrange and organise text around other content. LO: To know how to create a document using a word processor (2 sessions). Unit is targeted at lower key stage 2, but would be suitable for key stage 1. Children in upper key stage 2 could also benefit if they needed to develop these skills.

As above, this unit of work is compiled of five lessons and can be taught as a stand alone unit without children having any experience of Scratch beforehand (although this would be beneficial for progressing them toward Greater Depth levelled activities). Scratch is a free-to-use piece of online coding software, so no logins are required. Users can freely access the program and download any creations they produce. Flash is required. It comes complete with coloured coded plans to support teacher input, pre- coded scratch files to upload to the website to show as models or examples, printable colour coded toolkits and links to online hosted video tutorials that can be used to see how to model the steps to the children or for the children to use themselves, especially useful for accessing the greater depth level activities. Objectives: LO: To know how to code simple questions. LO: To know how to code questions with more than one answer. LO: To know how to sequence algorithms. LO: To program a maths quiz. LO: To share work online. Covers skills mapped in this curriculum document - https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/computing-skills-progression-grid-ks1-and-2-11727156

A unit of work aimed at developing children’s knowledge of Microsoft PowerPoint. Focuses on intermediate skills, beyond simple word processing. Children will need to have some experience using Microsoft Office and be able to find and collect information and digital media from an online source safely. This was aimed at children in Years 3 and 4, as it was used as part of a rolling curriculum cycle. It includes a range of skills that could be covered in years 3, 4 or 5 depending on the coverage of the Computing curriculum in place at your school. The example context is ‘Light and shadows’ from a science persepctive, but you can easily change this by using another powerpoint (not included) as an example. There is a large focus upon evaluating digital medias, in addition to a full range of skills relating to the use of PowerPoint and creating a presentation for a viewer. To extend the challenge, more focus could be paid to the intended audience and how this would effect the choices of content made. Please note, the example PowerPoint is an example of what the presentation could look like. It is not a presentation of teaching content for children to learn from. Please refer to the planning to see what objectives and input are included for delivery to childrn to learn computing from. Lessons cover: Organising a PPT, Choosing a visual style, Presenting information clearly, Adding and Editing Images, Adding Transitions and Animations, Adding Hyperlinks and Evaluating a PPT. Includes lesson resources to support the teaching of the seven above areas. Links to e-resources can be found in the planning document.

I planned and taught this for an observed lesson and was graded outstanding for the subject knowledge and progress the children made. Included is the plan, 5 scratch files, a short lesson presentation and some printable Tool-kits. Objective: To program changes in a scratch animation using variables. Children learn how to utilise conditional statements and create their own variables within an animation in scratch. The scratch files include all the blocks required for each stage of modelling. Best taught in a computer suite with a display board for direct modelling of included resources. Covers many elements of LWKS2 Computing curriculum.
