Coding in Year 4

In  our computing lessons in Year 4 this half term we have been exploring the important ideas of sequencing and repetition using a simple programing language called logo.  It has helped us to develop some important computational thinking skills – including persistence!  Today we applied what we have learnt in a different context, using a visual programing environment.

Investigating Shape with Logo

In Year 4 we have been using Logo, a text-based computer programming language, to explore shape.  In this week’s lesson we started to use the power of repetition to help make the algorithms that we wrote as efficient as possible – and discovered that using spaces and punctuation correctly is really important when we are writing instructions for the Logo on-screen robot!  A key skill we are developing is ‘debugging’ – the process of finding and fixing the problems (or ‘bugs’) in our code.  This, together with persistence, is a very important part of computational thinking!
