//**__Levelling Information__**//

__**Level 1 **__

Pupils explore, with support, different types of information held on ICT systems. They use ICT to [|move objects on-screen for a defined purpose] and use words and pictures to communicate ideas. They use the internet/related technologies safely, with support. They are [|aware of ICT in their world]. They [|recognise] the [|different parts of a computer system].

**Level 2 ** Pupils consider, create and communicate information and ideas in different forms using text, images, pictures and sound. They [|find information from a given source] using it to answer simple questions. Pupils [|enter information] into a record with some assistance. They explore the effects of [|making changes] in models or [|simulations]. Pupils store and retrieve work with some assistance. They are aware of the use of [|ICT in the outside world]. **Level 3 **

Pupils begin to organise their tasks and use ICT to create, organise, amend and present information and ideas. They find information from a range of given sources and use ICT to [|search, sort and/or graph data] to follow simple lines of enquiry. Pupils understand how [|changing one variable affects another] in models or simulations. They store and retrieve work independently. Pupils <span style="color: windowtext; font-family: FrutigerLT-Light; font-size: 11pt; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none; textunderline: none;">[|send and receive information electronically], with support. They understand the use of a range of <span style="color: windowtext; font-family: FrutigerLT-Light; font-size: 11pt; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none; textunderline: none;">[|input and output] devices. <span style="color: #ff0000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 130%;">**Level 4** <span style="color: windowtext; font-family: FrutigerLT-Light; font-size: 11pt; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none; textunderline: none;">Pupils broadly plan their tasks and combine a variety of information and media when creating and developing their ideas, with a sense of purpose and audience. They use ICT to select <span style="color: windowtext; font-family: FrutigerLT-Light; font-size: 11pt; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none; textunderline: none;">[|relevant information] from a <span style="color: windowtext; font-family: FrutigerLT-Light; font-size: 11pt; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none; textunderline: none;">range of given sources, recognising that <span style="color: windowtext; font-family: FrutigerLT-Light; font-size: 11pt; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none; textunderline: none;">[|poor quality information and data yields unreliable results. Pupils begin to check the validity of data]. They add and amend records in databases. They use ICT to explore patterns and relationships. They make <span style="color: windowtext; font-family: FrutigerLT-Light; font-size: 11pt; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none; textunderline: none;">simple predictions about how <span style="color: windowtext; font-family: FrutigerLT-Light; font-size: 11pt; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none; textunderline: none;">[|changing one variable affects another] in models or simulations. They <span style="color: windowtext; font-family: FrutigerLT-Light; font-size: 11pt; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none; textunderline: none;">[| send and receive information electronically]. Pupils discuss and begin to form opinions about some of the issues raised by the use of ICT and internet safety. They use the internet/related technologies safely in accordance with given guidelines. Pupils manage their workspace effectively. They show an awareness of the basic functions of hardware and software.

<span style="color: #ff0000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 130%;">Level 5 <span style="color: windowtext; font-family: FrutigerLT-Light; font-size: 11pt; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none; textunderline: none;">Pupils plan their tasks for purpose and audience. They combine a variety of information and media when creating, refining and developing their own ideas and information. Their presentations are fit for purpose and meet the needs of their intended audience. They search for and <span style="color: windowtext; font-family: FrutigerLT-Light; font-size: 11pt; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none; textunderline: none;">[|select information from a range of sources], considering relevance, plausibility and accuracy. Pupils create their own databases and <span style="color: windowtext; font-family: FrutigerLT-Light; font-size: 11pt; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none; textunderline: none;">search or sort on more than one field to follow particular lines of enquiry. They create their own models or <span style="color: windowtext; font-family: FrutigerLT-Light; font-size: 11pt; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none; textunderline: none;">[|simulations] and <span style="color: windowtext; font-family: FrutigerLT-Light; font-size: 11pt; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none; textunderline: none;">[|investigate] the <span style="color: windowtext; font-family: FrutigerLT-Light; font-size: 11pt; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none; textunderline: none;">effect of changing data. They use ICT to <span style="color: windowtext; font-family: FrutigerLT-Light; font-size: 11pt; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none; textunderline: none;">[| send and receive files electronically]. Pupils form opinions about issues raised by the use of ICT and are aware of dangers associated with misuse of the internet/related technologies. They recognise the implications of using networks.
