Lesson 5 - Breaking things down
In this lesson, pupils will focus on decomposition. They will break down everyday tasks into smaller parts and think about how code snippets can be broken down to make them easier to plan and work with. They will learn to create, name, and call procedures in Logo, which are code snippets that can be reused in their programming.

- To decompose a task into small steps
- I can identify ‘chunks’ of actions in the real world
- I can use a procedure in a program
