Computing
In Reception, the children have opportunities to explore technology and use it in their play. The children will learn to use a computer, understand the importance of precise instructions, as well as experiment with programming a Bee-bot.
From Year 1 onwards, we follow the National Curriculum for Computing. We follow the Kapow Primary Scheme for our Computing lessons.
Years 1 and 2
In Years 1 and 2, the children follow a rolling programme. This allows them to explore the same ideas in different contexts and means that they are not negatively affected by mixed age classes.
