Shape fun<\/p>\n

We had lots of fun exploring the properties of 2D shapes with Mrs Copeland and using these to create group pictures.<\/p>\n

Symmetry<\/p>\n

In pairs we used chalk to create a symmetrical pattern\/picture by working across a line in the school hall.\u00a0 We then searched outside for examples of symmetry in nature.\u00a0 We collected symmetrical leaves, cut them in half and stuck the halves onto paper.\u00a0 We then had to draw the other half of the leaf as accurately as possible along the line of symmetry.\u00a0 This was tricky!<\/p>\n

Measure\/Estimation<\/p>\n

We were asked to draw a line on the ground as close to 1m as we could without measuring .\u00a0 We used a metre stick to check how close we were\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0(Ruby, Mark, Brandon and Holly were closest! \u2013 see photo 5040).\u00a0 We then drew a squiggly line as close to 1m as we could.\u00a0 This proved tricky to measure using a metre stick.\u00a0 We had to use our problem solving skills and decided to use string to track our squiggly line and then used the metre stick to measure the string.<\/p>\n
