After learning all about 2D and 3D shape earlier this year, this term we have looked at tessellation and tiling.

As a class we read ‘The Knight That Said NO!’ (a story from our Read, Write, Count bags) we began to see some shape patterns forming! We noticed that the castle in the story book  was made from tessellation of shapes which we now know means shapes that fit together perfectly with no spaces between them or any over lapping sides. This gave us an idea to make our own tessellating shape castles! We focused really closely on the way we drew our shapes and the colours we used to colour it in, as we had to make sure we kept our pattern accurate!
