Summer Term Curriculum Blog #2

▤ Summary

The problem solving and thinking skills can be developed across the curriculum then related back to computing lessons. Decomposition could be used to break the activity down into smaller parts, “first I need to find some wheels.” Scenario two: The pupils have a range of lego bricks to use. The pupils can apply decomposition to break the problem down into smaller steps, creating one piece of the algorithm at a time. The first thing to do, is to make sure that staff are upskilled in understanding what computational thinking is and the language associated with it such as tinkering, decomposition and debugging. They have a range of plugged and unplugged lessons from EYFS – KS2, including a free workshop for introducing computational thinking.
