Reception Computing
In Reception, children are encouraged to develop interest and positive attitudes towards ICT by using technology and programmable toys to support their learning in their classroom, including in continuous provision.
Children also take part in at least three specific Computing activities in groups led by Mr Haughton in the Computer suite each term, covering a variety of different themes as shown in the photos alongside.
These introduce them to working in the four main strands of the subject so they are well prepared for doing a weekly Computing lesson in Year 1 onwards.
