Primary 3 – Symmetry!

Primary 3 took a trip outdoors last week to investigate symmetry in nature. During our morning challenges children had been creating symmetrical patterns using Numicon.

We first discussed what symmetry is and what something symmetrical would look like before heading outside. Working with a partner they were challenged to find as many symmetrical objects as they could to use in their symmetrical pictures. 

After completing the first challenge primary 3 had to form bigger groups to make their pictures larger.

Finally we decided to have a go at creating symmetrical images within our groups but we were only allowed to use our bodies. Here is how we got on…

Great Work Primary 3!
