Note:
• Pupils first need to develop an initial understanding of the concepts of
algorithms and programming (repetition, selection, variable use) through simple
everyday examples to reduce cognitive load.
• Pupils need to develop written algorithmic notation that they can use to design
algorithms before they turn these into programming. o Pupils’ algorithmic
notation should be subtly different than programming (using similar but different
language wherever possible. For example, ‘loop four times’ rather than ‘repeat
four’ if writing an algorithm to turn into Scratch programming.
