Title:Bryneven presents Encapsulation with Purple Mash’s 2Logo Coding class

DESCRIPTION:Bryneven Primary offers the coding class -a bi-weekly lesson- on Tuesdays and
Wednesdays in the fourth term. Here, we promote Tuesday, October 15th 2019: a
lesson on encapsulating (containing) our code in a procedure, and then calling a
procedure that draws the main shapes. In procedures, we use lines of code to
move the pen in a controlled manner. The main discussion of how robotics and
human knowledge are related – with its logic, patterns, etc. It is like code
that refers to the controls behind the natural movement of arms and legs
(cybernetics). Cybernetics is widely used in the biological sciences: hence my
link to brain connections – communication processes and control mechanisms. Here
I am trying to make a rather brief comparison using processes – in essence,
drawing an image – when introducing biological systems (brain and knowledge) and
artificial (robotics), remember that participating students are from 8 to 11
years old. We use 2Logo Purple Mash to learn how various commands can be
contained; suitably organized in accordance with well-appointed procedures. The
lesson explores the repetition -using the square brackets with the sequence of
commands- moving a pen. A procedure also engages with the pen up and pen down
commands, which move and reposition the pen. Mr Bradley teaches for the Gauteng
Department of Education. Mr Bradley teaches at Bryneven Primary School. This is
a public school in Bryanston, Johannesburg, Gauteng, South Africa. Bryneven
Primary has introduced coding dynamics -using Purple Mash- since 2017.
