Computational Thinking

Year 1

Computational Thinking – 2paint a picture and 2Music

Week

Plan  - Combine patterns to music

1/2

Children draw patterns using 3 different colour dots (can only use set colours) then keeping with the same colours make a different pattern if they finish, create a pattern using four of the set colours, repeat using same colours but different pattern (print work).

3

Talk about beats/patterns/repeating patterns in sound.  Using last week’s colour patterns  copy the same colour instruments (only on one line) into the grid, then play.  On the second line copy the second pattern, then listen to the difference.

Now start from new but this time use the four pattern and include gaps.  Listen to music if finished listen to other children’s patterns – screen shot and save.

4

Repeat week 3 but this time use different instruments – when this is done try to create their own music. See if they remember to use patterns.

5

Following worksheets create the patterns and see if they can guess the sounds. Recap and show.

Resources

2Paint / PC / Paper / Printer / Whiteboard / Worksheets / Computer programs like 2sequence or Purplemash / 2simple music toolkit.

Vocabulary

Sequence / Pattern / Connect / Copy / Paste / drag / duplicate / Recap / Repeating patterns / Retrieve / Enter/ Delete / Drag and drop / Icons / Problem solve / Beats / Bass / Instruments / Low-pitched / High-pitched / Deep tones

Creativity

Year 1

Creativity – Word Processing -

Week

Plan – Make a poster while learning how to use word/Save work/ Find work (Event or Internet Safety)

1

Make Title - Center/Bold/Change colour/Alter font/Underline/Resize.  Learn the relevant keys needed to achieve these goals. 

2

Make a list as a class to say what is going on the poster. Children create a word box with bullet points write what’s been suggested.

3

At the bottom make another text box and add a question.

Then show the children how to add a question mark.  Colour the background of this box.  Spell check their own work. Delete mistakes and learn to undo.

4

Using WordArt add graphics to go down the sides of the poster, show how to move, rotate and format words.

5

Add pictures from a folder that has already been created. Review their own work and finish

6

Test – Give children a set piece of work and see if they remember how to change it using the lessons above.
