I can follow given instructions to program a physical device.

I can explain that an algorithm is a set of precise step-by-step instructions to achieve a particular task.

I understand that algorithms are implemented on digital devices as programs and can identify examples of

each.

I can make a real-life situation into an algorithm for a program.

I can turn a real-life situation into an algorithm, using a diagram to express solutions.

I understand what an algorithm is.

I know that an algorithm written for a computer is called a program.

I know I need to carefully plan my algorithm so it will work when I make it into code.

I can design an algorithm carefully, thinking about what I want it to do and how I can turn it into code.

I can use repetition in my code. For example, using a loop that continues until a condition is met such as the correct answer being entered.

I can demonstrate an ability to following an algorithm.

I can work out what is wrong when the steps are out of order in instructions.

I can design a simple program (e.g. using 2 Code) that achieves a purpose.

I can design a program thinking logically about the sequence of steps required.

I can use timers within my program designs more accurately to create repetition effects.

I can design simple algorithms.

I can say that if something does not work how it should, it is because my code is incorrect.

I can find and correct some errors in my program (debugging).

I can experiment with

timers in my programs.

I can use selection (decision) in my programming. For example, using an ‘if statement’ for a question being asked and the program takes one of two paths.

I can detect and correct errors (debugging) in simple algorithms.

I can try and fix my code if it isn’t working properly (debugging).

I can say what will happen in a program.

I can experiment with the effect of using repeat commands.

I can use variables within my program and know how to change the value of variables.

I can make good guesses (logical reasoning) of what is going to happen in a program. For example, where the Bee- Bot might go.

I can spot something in a program that has an action or effect (does something).

I can identify the difference in using the effect of a timer or repeat command in my code.

I can use the user inputs and output features within my program, such as ‘Print to screen’.

I can identify an error in my program and fix it.

I can identify errors in my code by using different methods, such as stepping through lines of code and fixing them.

I can read programs with several steps and predict what it will do.

I can read programs that contain several steps and predict the outcomes with increasing accuracy.
