Y6 Which LOGO commands can you use?

Dec 202018
 
  1. Go to j2launch – j2code – LOGO
  2. Start your program with:
    1. reset
    2. setpensize 5
  3. Copy the face…
    1. I started with the mouth: rt 45

  1. Use as many of these commands as possible:
    1. Movement:   fd bk rt lt (with a space then a number)
    2. circle (with a space and a number)
    3. colour “yellow
    4. fill
    5. repeat 4 [  …   ]
    6. arc 90 30   – can you work out how this works?  (One number is the size, the other is the angle)
  2. Use the code below to move around the page without drawing:
    1. pu setxy 100 100 pd   (The numbers are x y coordinates and the screen goes from -250 to 250)
  3. Are there any other commands you can show that you can use?
  4. Be resourceful:
    1. Your memory..
    2. Your old LOGO files
    3. Old blog posts – search my blog for “logo”
      1. instructions
      2. help videos
    4. x y coordinate finder (only goes up to 240/180 in Scratch – in LOGO it goes up to 250 on each axis)

TIPS

  • Don’t get rid of your code!  That’s the important bit.
  • Keep pressing play (after every new command)
  • Keep saving
  • Useful commands
    • pu = pen up so it doesn’t draw
    • pd = so it draws again
    • setpensize 10 for a thicker line
    • circle 30 
    • arc 50 180 draws part of a circle
    • repeat 4 [fd 100 rt 90] for a square
    • pu setxy 50 60 pd to jump to a new place without drawing.  Here’s a Scratch program to help find which numbers to use – Positioin finder

SUCCESS STEPS

  1. Try new commands and ideas – be curious
  2. Type accurately
  3. Spot your own mistakes – be resilient
  4. Save (logo face) and tag (y5logo)

FINISHED?

Can you…

  • make it smile!
  • add some spiky hair using repeat, eg ScreenHunter_132 Nov. 14 08.02
  • change the shape of the right eye – a hexagon maybe…
  • add a spiral ear

FINISHED AGAIN?!

  • Start to design and create your own picture
  • use:  repeat, setxy, arc, circle, colour, fill
  • Can you use procedures at the beginning?

Next time…
