We looked at depth of learning; what progression would look like in programming and animation; and useful summative assessment to provide to KS2 (Y3) teachers.
For the practical tasks, we made use of the turtle tab in JiT; the animation tab in JiT; Spotlight in J2E; and J2Webby in J2E to manage and approve blog posts and blog comments.
The powerpoint used at the meeting is given below:

The sequence of lessons for animation in Y1 and Y2 are given below. This planning and example work has been kindly contributed by L Bima from Hampton Infant School and Nursery. The examples of work and reflection on learning are particularly useful in encouraging deeper learning:
An example Y2 video from the animation project is provided below:
Do you have any other examples of progression or techniques for encouraging deeper learning? Do you have other software or resources that would support KS1 computing? If so, please leave a comment below.
