Today, Year 4 have been completing more work on FMSLogo. We are really enjoying this practical unit and so far, we are doing extremely well. We have looked at creating code for different numbers and letters and today we completed some code to create a shape. The shape in questions was a square. To make a square, we had to:
Go forwards 100 Turn right 90 degrees Go forwards 100 Turn right 90 degrees Go forwards 100 Turn right 90 degrees Go forwards 100 Turn right 90 degrees To put that into code, we would put, FD 100 RT 90 FD 100 RT 90 FD 100 RT 90 FD 100 RT 90 However, today, we used the repeat function so instead of writing out the entire thing, we just had to write: Repeat 4 [FD 100 RT 90] We then looked at making a smaller and larger square and thinking about changing only one thing in our code to do this. It was really interesting and the children were able to create and amend code really well.
