Implementation

• Children use laptops and iPads to practise skills

• We follow the Purple Mash scheme to teach coding, typing, making digital pictures and more

• Online safety is taught regularly—children learn to ‘Stop. Close. Tell.’ if something worries them

• Vocabulary is explained clearly, and children learn through games, exploration and modelling

Impact

By the end of Year 2, children:

• Know how to stay safe online

• Can give instructions to a computer and solve simple problems

• Create their own digital work, such as posters and animations

• Are ready to build on their computing skills in junior school

SEND and Inclusion

All children are supported in computing lessons. We use visuals, demonstrations and small group work to help everyone access the learning and build confidence using technology.
