We looked at the content statements of the computing curriculum document. We described  some of the wording in more straightforward language:

1. Algorithms: a set of steps, a recipe, a formula that can be written as sentences for KS1 eg the sequence of steps to take to get dressed
2. Debug: to find and fix mistakes in a program eg if a beebot has gone the wrong way, how do you change the instructions so that it follows the intended route
3. Manipulate: to experiment, play around, change eg resize images, add objects to a scene

We discussed some activities that could help support the computing curriculum for Year 1. The curriculum content and activities can be downloaded here:
