Class 4 computer studies moves into productive use of software. Children format documents properly — fonts, alignment, lists and images — build simple presentations, and are introduced to spreadsheets for organising data.

Coding work extends to loops and simple decisions in a block-based environment, and children learn about the internet, how to search for information and how to judge whether what they find is trustworthy.

• Word Processing — Formatting text, alignment, lists and inserting images.
• Presentations — Building simple slide decks with text, images and transitions.
• Introduction to Spreadsheets — Rows, columns, cells and entering and sorting data.
• Coding with Loops — Repetition and simple decisions in a block-based language.
• The Internet — What the internet is, searching effectively and judging sources.
• Online Safety — Personal information, passwords and reporting concerns.
