14. The Computing Curriculum new > “From 5, children will learn to code and program, with algorithms, sequencing, selection and repetition; ! from 11, how to use at least 2 programming languages to solve computational problems; to design … computational abstractions that model the state and behaviour of real- world problems and physical systems; and how instructions are stored and executed within a computer system.” ! ! Michael Gove - UK Secretary for Education > ex
