Last week, P2M started learning about symmetry.

As it was Halloween, we created symmetrical pumpkins and ghosts. We had to fold paper, cut accurately and add details. Whatever we did to one side of the line of symmetry we had to do a mirror image on the other side. It was a fun way to start our learning!

This week we have been investigating symmetry at our Symmetry Stations. We have been folding, checking, creating and designing our own symmetrical shapes, pictures and patterns. We have also drawn lines of symmetry on to shapes. It was tricky because we had to be very accurate and use a ruler carefully!

  

We have learned how to use a mirror to check if a shape or picture is symmetrical and how to use it to continue a pattern and create our own picture or designs.

We have been playing games to extend our knowledge of symmetry.
