A Knowledge organiser that captures the essential knowledge and skills learned throughout the Stage 1 Computing unit, Unit 1: Computers around us.
This Computing resource supports learners in understanding what computers are and how they are used in everyday life. It introduces the idea that computers are all around us and can be used for a variety of purposes such as creating, communicating, controlling and finding things out. The organiser highlights key vocabulary including input, output, program and internet, helping learners understand how computers work and connect in networks. Through this unit, learners begin to recognise that computers follow instructions to perform tasks and explore the different ways people use technology in their daily lives
A Knowledge organiser that captures the essential knowledge and skills learned throughout the Stage 1 Computing unit, Unit 3: Algorithms unplugged.
This Computing resource is designed to support children as they learn what an algorithm is and how to follow, create and debug simple algorithms in everyday contexts. It highlights key vocabulary, functions and concepts such as commands, algorithms and debugging, helping learners build their understanding of computational thinking, helping learners develop the skills to give clear instructions, spot errors and improve algorithms through logical thinking.
A Knowledge organiser that captures the essential knowledge and skills learned throughout the Stage 1 Computing unit, Bee-Bots.
This Computing resource is designed to support children as they learn how to program a Bee-Bot using clear commands and sequences. It highlights key vocabulary, functions and concepts, such as algorithms, debugging and directional control, helping learners consolidate their understanding and develop confidence in giving precise instructions to a programmable device.

A Knowledge organiser that captures the essential knowledge and skills learned throughout the Stage 1 Computing unit, Introduction to data.
This Computing resource is designed to support children as they learn what data is, how to collect it using forms, sort it into groups, count and compare it, and organise it in tables. They practise asking the right questions to gather helpful information and develop confidence in answering questions with data.
