This video explores computational thinking and its four key elements: decomposition, pattern recognition, abstraction, and algorithm design.
year: Year 1
Teacher video: Debugging
This Computing scheme of work video supports teachers in teaching debugging, with real-world examples and Scratch techniques to build problem-solving skills.
Teacher video: Repetition and loops
This video explains how repetition and loops work in Scratch, helping pupils create animations and games with repeated actions
Teacher video: Algorithms
This video helps teachers introduce algorithms and step-by-step instructions used in computing and everyday life.
Knowledge organiser – Science Y1: Animals, including humans: Sensitive bodies
Teacher video: What is coding?
This video helps teachers feel confident supporting pupils in learning coding fundamentals, with practical strategies for guiding simple programs and developing computational thinking.
Science: Teacher Knowledge Audit
This knowledge audit is a practical tool for Science subject leaders. It helps you identify gaps in teachers’ subject knowledge so you can offer targeted support. The audit also includes direct links to resources in the Kapow Primary Science scheme of work, making it easier to address those gaps effectively.
Science subject audit
This audit is designed to help subject leaders reflect on the intent, implementation, and impact of their Science curriculum. Created by former Ofsted inspector Clive Davies OBE, it includes structured questions to support self-evaluation, identify strengths and areas for development, and ensure the subject is inclusive, well-sequenced, and effectively taught across all year groups.
Science: KS1 Pupil voice
This document is for teachers to gather feedback from their pupils about KS1 Science lesson plans. Pupils can share what they like and where they do well. Their input will help improve Science learning.
We suggest pupils bring their exercise books to the session to show examples of their work.
