Organiser Early First Second Third Fourth 
Understanding the world through computational thinking I can explore computational thinking processes involved in a variety of everyday tasks & can identify patterns in objects or information.

TCH 0-13a

 I can explore & comment on processes in the world around me making use of core computational thinking concepts & can organise information in a logical way.

TCH 1-13a

 I understand the operation of a process & its outcome. I can structure related items of information.

TCH 2-13a

 I can describe different fundamental information processes & how they communicate & can identify their use in solving different problems.

TCH 3-13a

I am developing my understanding of information & can use an information model to describe particular aspects of a real world system.

TCH 3-13b

 

 I can describe in detail the processes used in real world solutions, compare these processes against alternative solutions & justify which is the most appropriate.

TCH 4-13a

I can informally compare algorithms for correctness & efficiency.

TCH 4-13b
Understanding and analysing computing technology I understand that sequences of instructions are used to control computing technology.

TCH 0-14a

 I understand the instructions of a visual programming language & can predict the outcome of a program written using the language.

TCH 1-14a

 I can explain core programming language concepts in appropriate technical language.

TCH 2-14a

 I understand language constructs for representing structured information.

TCH 3-14a

 

 I understand constructs & data structures in a textual programming language.

TCH 4-14a

 
Understanding and analysing computing technology I can experiment with & identify uses of a range of computing technology in the world around me.

TCH 0-14b

 I understand how computers process information.

TCH 1-14B

 I understand how information is stored & how key components of computing technology connect & interact through networks.

Tch 2-14b

 I can describe the structure & operation of computing systems which have multiple software & hardware levels that interact with each other.

TCH 3-14b

 I can explain the overall operation & architecture of a digitally created solution.

TCH 4-14b

I understand the relationship between high level language & the operation of computer.

TCH 4-14c
Designing, building and testing computing solutions I can develop a sequence of instructions & run them using programmable devices or equivalent.

TCH 0-15a

 I can demonstrate a range of basic problem-solving skills by building simple programs to carry out a given task, using am appropriate language.

TCH 1-15a

 I can create, develop & evaluate computing solutions in response to a design challenge.

TCH 2-15a

 I can select appropriate development tools to design, build, evaluate & refine computing solutions based on requirements.

TCH 3-15a

 I can select appropriate development tools to design, build, evaluation & refine computing solutions to process & present information whilst making reasoned arguments to justify my decisions.
