At last week’s budding session, we made firework pictures! Not using paint or pencils – but using 2D shapes!

The P1s have been learning about 2D shapes and symmetry so we based our lesson on that.

First, we partnered up with another P1 and their buddy.

They were lots of boxes with 2D shapes inside them. We had to choose which shapes we wanted.

Once we had chosen our shapes, we had to make a symmetrical picture of a firework.

Everyone’s looked unique and different.  We discussed what shapes we had used and how many of each we had used.

We even had glowsticks! Mrs Emslie turned off the lights and the room was glowing.

Once we had finished, we let the P1s keep the glowsticks and make them into bracelets (they really loved it)!
