Early Level

Heads, Shoulders, Knees and Toes

This lesson can be adapted to any familiar song/rhyme.

Experience & Outcome	I understand that sequences of instructions are used to control computing technology. TCH 0-14a
Learning Outcomes	– I can follow instructions. – I can create a sequence of instructions for people to follow (an algorithm) – I can find and correct errors in a sequence of instructions (I can debug an algorithm). – I can use repetition in a sequence of instructions.
Computer Science Concepts	Repetition
Computational Thinking Concepts & Approaches	Algorithms and Debugging
Lesson Overview	Pupils create a set of instructions (an algorithm) to sing a well-known song. They also debug their algorithm and learn to use repetition.
