Year 5 and 6 continued coding today.  Using the power of repetition Esma and Olivia created a fabulous ‘spirograph’ design.  We have also been exploring how to use functions.  A function is a named section of a program that performs a specific task – a type of procedure or routine.  Nina’s design uses a function to draw a square.

As well as using the built-in functions in Code Studio (such as ‘move’ or ‘turn’) we have started to define our own functions – writing blocks of code that, once we have defined them, we can use over and over again!
