We have been learning all about symmetry. We know this means that something is the same on both sides. This would also mean they are the same height. There is a line of symmetry in the middle and it splits the picture into two halves. We can tell when something is or is not symmetrical we did lots of stations to show this.
At the Smart board we played a game where we matched pictures to make them symmetrical. To make it a little trickier we also looked at shapes and patterns that were symmetrical too.
At the creative station we made a symmetrical shape with paper and when we opened it up we saw the line of symmetry. To decorate the shape we had to do symmetrical pictures. They looked really great!
At this station we used the counters to make symmetrical patterns. When we put a counter on one side we then had to do it on the other side. Some of us made very fancy patterns. 
Working together as a team we had to match the ladybirds and butterflies with the correct patterns together. It was tricky because there was lots of pictures so we really needed to use our eyes.
In this station we had to use the peg boards to make symmetrical patterns. To make this a little easier we had a line of symmetry on the board. 
Today we got a bit messy and created our own symmetrical paintings. We had to paint only one side! The paper had a line of symmetry and when we folded over the paper and gave it a magic rub the painting became symmetrical and wonderful!
Thank you for looking at our blog and please leave us lots of comments!
Your symmetrical paintings look great. That must have been great fun.
It’s a good time of year to do symmetry with all of the (pretend) snowflakes around.
