We are learning to recognise and create a symmetrical pattern

I can identify a symmetrical pattern

I can make a pattern that is symmetrical

This week we have been learning about symmetry.

We first noticed symmetry when we were observing our butterflies.

We looked especially carefully at the position of the different shapes and colours on each wing. There was something really interesting about their wings. Perhaps you can ask us to describe what we saw!

We discovered this was called symmetry.

We decided to investigate  further!

First, we looked for examples of symmetry around us. We found quite a few!

Next, we explored interactive games and activities to help us learn even more.

Finally, we created our own symmetrical patterns using bricks, pegs, pattern blocks and shapes.

We worked very hard and created some fantastic designs.
