In this unit of 4 art and computing lessons for KS2 Year 3 in England (ages 7-8) pupils create nature representations, firstly using art materials and are introduced to computational thinking and programming the LEDs on the micro:bit. Learning objectives can understand and apply the fundamental principles and concepts of computer science, including abstraction, logic, algorithms and data representation have repeated practical experience of writing computer programs in order to solve problems can evaluate and apply information technology are responsible, competent, confident and creative users of information and communication technology . Additional skills Creative thinking, collaboration, problem-solving. . Included resources Lesson plan Word docs Lesson slides PowerPoint Student handouts Sample micro:bit code files . England KS2 computing curriculum links design, write and debug programs that accomplish specific goals use logical reasoning to explain how some simple algorithms work and to detect and correct errors in algorithms and programs use sequence in programs; work with outputs .
