It seems unlikely that it will change the curriculum to me. Our curriculum seems to be dictated by the exam system which seems pretty much stuck in the 1890s. For decades I have wondered how much use it is to be able to memorise and regurgitate stuff. Surely there could be more about application.

I wonder if anyone from @computingatschool.bsky.social might have some suggestions. I have a huge pile of marking to address in the next few weeks but maybe something I can spend some time on after things get a bit quieter.

Perhaps a good place to start would be looking to see where episode themes can be drawn from and linked to NCCE plans and Barefoot resources. I am going to the Barefoot birthday party tomorrow in London so might discuss developing some kind of mapping document perhaps.

I love this programme, are there any educational resources/lesson plans to go with them? Thinking we could watch an episode and do some follow up activities after? Don’t want to reinvent the wheel if it already exists

In the EYFS, I would just watch the series with the children and start to try to use some of the language when they are solving problems in their child initiated play (e.g. Ah, yes that's tricky, let's stop and think about it).

It is all very new at the moment. I would possibly look at how it can be woven into your existing KS1 computing planning e.g. when learning about algorithms in Y1 I would watch episode 15 and sing along with First Things First.
