Computing
Please find below more information regarding Computing at Orchard Grove Primary School
Computing skills and knowledge are developed across the whole curriculum. From the very youngest age, children become familiar with technology and develop their computational thinking through play.
In the EYFS there is an introduction to computing through a STEM (Science Technology Engineering Maths) focus. Children are given opportunities to use technology through classroom learning e.g. Interactive white board interactions; having access to bee-bots and opportunities to program them; following algorithms as instructions e.g. following recipes; gaining recognition of different technology open to them and the children making decisions around the type of technology to access to get the information they need.
In KS1 and KS2 we follow the Teach Computing curriculum for teaching computing:
