Computing

In Computing, we follow the Teach Computing Curriculum created by the National Centre for Computing Education. This is a combination of practical, unplugged lessons and using our Chromebooks and iPads in our specialised Computing Suite. In EYFS, children focus on technology in the world around them and getting to grips with computing equipment such as Beebots, iPads and using a mouse. In Year 1, children spend time understanding how to program robots and use computers to create both digital painting, and writing. In Year 2, we focus on algorithms, programming quizzes and data as well as exploring digital photography. Throughout, their time at King’s Oak Academy, children are always learning and reminding themselves how to stay safe online.
