This is not a detailed scheme of work but rather a framework that teachers could use to adapt current ICT Turtle (Bee-Bot, Roamer Too) schemes of work into computing schemes of work. It uses the computational thinking skills of algorithm creation and evaluation. Version 1.2 updated to include best route ideas by teachers at Wickham C of E Primary during a Computing Inset day.
