Year 1
	An introduction to modelling		Using a word bank
	The information around us		Labelling and classifying
	Representing information graphically: pictograms		Understanding instructions and making things happen

In this unit pupils learn how to give and follow instructions to make things happen. They learn how to sequence instructions, so that others can follow them, and to predict what will happen. They learn that machines follow instructions and that they need to be switched on and off, and controlled. They will recognise the need for accuracy, definition, and common language. Pupils will apply what they have learnt in this unit when giving instructions both written and verbal. The unit will also help them understand how everyday appliances operate.
