Over the last few weeks we have been learning about right angles. We know they have 90 degrees, that a right angle turn means the same as a quarter turn and we can identify them in the environment. We were very excited to make our own right angle checkers and go exploring outside for right angles.
We have also been exploring symmetry and patterns. We are able to identify lines of symmetry in everyday objects and shapes and also in nature. We loved painting our own symmetrical butterflies 🦋 We can all identify a simple pattern, continue patterns and create our own.
Finally, we have been busy learning about directions. Using the arrow keys on Blue-bot we programmed him to go to different places on the mats. We confidently use the terms forwards, backwards, left and right turns and we are getting increasingly confident in saying ‘quarter turn’ and ‘90 degree right angle turn’.
You have all worked so hard, well done Primary 1! 🌟
