Last year saw the introduction of programming skills into year 6. We bought a Raspberry Pi (mini computer which only costs about £40) as an experiment - which was very successful. This year we have a class set of 15. The children have to plug in a keyboard, mouse, sound cable, monitor (using HDMI cable) and an operating system - off a memerory card. The children then use a program called SCRATCH to create their own games, stories, characters etc.
Other children have made and programmed Lego Mindstorm robots.
