A unit of work teaching children basic programming knowledge by drawing basic 2D shapes using a free online coding program (Turtle Academy). Children will learn to identify the number of sides in the different shapes they need to draw, as well as the amount of turn needed to create the internal angles and then use this information to create algorithms that draw shapes and repeating patterns. Each lesson has support suggestions, challenge questions and an input presentation. Four Lessons: LO: To know how to code to draw simple shapes. LO: To know how to use a repeat command to draw simple 2d shapes. LO: To know how to use a repeat to draw 2d shapes. LO: To know how to use nested repeat commands to draw patterns. Unit is targeted at key stage 1, but could be suitable for other age groups who need to develop basic understandings.

An assembly aimed at upper KS2, but delivered successfully to all of KS2, refreshing some key online safety ideas, whilst giving some fresh, ‘enlightening’ information to those savvy (but often careless) Year sixes! Notes are included on most slides to aid in delivery. The overall goal is go give the children a bit of a reality check and to remind them that the majority of the Interent is unsafe, especially so if they do not use what they have learnt to keep themselves safe.

A unit of work that introduces the basics of Scratch and teaches children to code a simple animated fish tank. Covers a wide array of computer science and digital literacy areas of the KS1 and KS2 curriculum so is suitable for years 2-4, possibly even 5 or 6 if more focus is paid to variables and use of other software and technology to contribute to the final program.

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

As titled. An activity, aimed at year 4, to extend children’s thinking about subtracting fractions from more than a whole. This could be used as an assessment or an activity at the end of a lesson based around subtracting fractions with the same denominators. Children will need to have explored how fractions make a whole and subtracting fractions with the same denominator. Useful as a step before mixed number and improper fractions which they would explore in year 5.

Aimed at Year 4; a notebook file containing Base 10 and Place Value counter images for teaching place value. Simple but effective, a great visual support for LA chn and visual learners.

An assessment activity for children to complete independently. Assesses converting time between analogue, 12 hour and 24 hour.
