ICT Curriculum Team Tîm Cwricwlwm TGC Unit: Data Handling ICT Year 1

Overview of this Unit: Children will be able to find information from a variety of sources, will learn that computers store information and understand that sounds, pictures, numbers and text can give information. They will learn that a pictogram can be used to show information and make their own pictograms and talk about what it shows. They learn how to enter data into a pre-prepared database, make a graph and answer simple questions. They will sort objects using more than one criteria using a set of key words to describe the objects and learn how to use key words to label and classify objects.

Expectations at the end of this unit:

Most pupils will be able to: understand that sounds, pictures, numbers and text are a source of information and can be stored on a computer. They are able to sort objects using more than one criteria and create a pictogram and use it to answer questions. They are able to enter data into a pre-prepared database and answer simple questions and make graphs.

Some pupils will only be able to: enter data into a pre-prepared database and answer questions with help. They can create a pictogram with support and can sort objects using one criteria.

Some pupils will also be able to: find information from a variety of sources. They will generate pictograms and graphs and enter and use information in a pre-prepared database to answer questions with increasing independence. They identify sets of key words and can sort objects using a range of criteria. They can talk about the advantages of using ICT to create graphs.
