The Parkside Computing Curriculum
Early years foundation stage
Early years foundation stage
In EYFS, computing is taught within the following areas of learning:
Personal, Social and Emotional Development
Show resilience and perseverance in the face of a challenge.
Know and talk about the different factors that support their overall health and wellbeing: sensible amounts of ‘screen time’.
Physical Development
Develop their small motor skills so that they can use a range of tools competently, safely and confidently.
Expressive Arts and Design
Explore, use and refine a variety of artistic effects to express their ideas and feelings.
Understanding the World
Explore how things work
Within the Parkside Computing Curriculum, years 1-6 learn through units within the same four themes:
Computer Systems and Networks
Programming
Data and Information
Creating Media.
This approach allows us teach our children using the spiral curriculum approach, progressing skills and concepts from one year group to the next. We base our curriculum on the Teach Computing curriculum which has been devised by experts from the National Centre for Computing Education in conjunction with the DfE. We look for opportunities to enhance and personalise this curriculum for our students, making links to their learning across other subjects.
