Level 1

Pupils explore information from various sources, showing they know that information exists in different forms. They use ICT to work with text, images and sound to help them share their ideas. They recognise that many everyday devices respond to signals and instructions. They make choices when using such devices to produce different outcomes.

Unit 1A An introduction to modelling

Use software, including a simple adventure game, that represents a real or fantasy situation; create a simple representation of a real or fantasy situation with help.

Understand that a computer can represent real or fantasy situations and that these do not replicate the original exactly; know that simple adventure games also represent real or fantasy situations; create a simple representation of a real or fantasy situation using either an objects-based graphics program or a painting program

Use a variety of software, including adventure games, to represent real or fantasy situations and identify similarities and differences; explain their decisions/choices

Unit 1F Understanding instructions and making things happen

Working towards Level 1

Level 2

Pupils use ICT to organise and classify information and to present their findings. They enter, save and retrieve work. They use ICT to help them generate, amend and record their work and share their ideas in different forms, including text, tables, images and sound. They plan and give instructions to make things happen and describe the effects. They use ICT to explore what happens in real and imaginary situations. They talk about their experiences of ICT both inside and out side school.
