10. Band levels
10.1. Foundations to Year 2
10.1.1. students have opportunities to learn through purposeful and directed play to develop attitudes of care in relation to the places and resources they use. Through these processes they identify relationships between imagined and virtual worlds and the real world, between people and products, and between resources and environments.
10.1.2. They explore materials and technologies and use drawing and modelling to communicate their design ideas. Students will learn about and experience connections between technologies and the designed world.
10.1.3. they will begin to learn the importance of preparing precise instructions when solving problems using digital systems, creating ideas and information and sharing them online with known people.
10.2. Years 3 and 4
10.2.1. They respond resourcefully to a range of design and computing problems and situations using creative and innovative ideas to realise solutions. They communicate and record their ideas in diagrams and drawings using manual and digital technologies. They explain the main functions of their solutions and the materials, systems and technologies which could be used
10.3. Years 5 and 6
10.4. Years 7 and 8
10.4.1. students use technologies knowledge and understanding, technologies processes and production skills and design, systems and/or computational thinking to solve and produce creative solutions to problems, needs or opportunities. They communicate and record their ideas using a range of media and technologies
