What you'll learn

  • Write a clear, ordered algorithm for an everyday task and spot missing or out-of-order steps
  • Use loops to repeat actions and events to start actions in block-coding programs
  • Read and build a simple spreadsheet using cell references and the SUM formula
  • Judge whether a website or online post is trustworthy using who, when and why questions

Before you start

  • Can read short instructions and follow them in order
  • Can count, add small whole numbers and recognise a simple grid or table
