 * 3) how to plan and give instructions to make things happen [for example, programming a floor turtle, placing instructions in the right order]

KS2

Finding things out
1. Pupils should be taught:
 * 1) [|to talk about what information they need and how they can find and use it [for example, searching the internet or a CD-ROM, using printed material, asking people]]
 * 2) how to prepare information for development using ICT, including selecting suitable sources, finding information, classifying it and checking it for accuracy [for example, finding information from books or newspapers, creating a class database, classifying by characteristics and purposes, checking the spelling of names is consistent]
 * 3) to interpret information, to check it is relevant and reasonable and to think about what might happen if there were any errors or omissions.

Exchanging and sharing information
3. Pupils should be taught:
 * 1) how to share and exchange information in a variety of forms, including e-mail [for example, displays, posters, animations, musical compositions]
