P1a Patterns

This week in Primary 1a we have been learning about patterns.

LI  We are learning about patterns

SC

I can recognise a pattern of lines, colours and shapes

I can continue a pattern

I can create a pattern

First of all we talked about what we thought a pattern was then we looked for examples of patterns around about us in the classroom. We found lots! Next, we looked at patterns on the Smartboard and described what we could see. We were able to say what came next in order to continue the pattern.

This was all very useful later in the day when we read the story of the Princess and the Pea, because we decided that we could  use what we had learned about  pattern to create some  really beautiful things for the Prince and the Princess, as well as the castle where they lived happily ever after. We set to work and soon we had made pretty patterned necklaces for the Princess, a super pattern for the Prince’s crown and lovely designs for the mattresses and quilts on the beds. We also made tall towers with flags on top and interesting floor designs for the castle. What a great job Primary 1 a!

Perhaps we should go for a walk around the school grounds and see if we can spot patterns outside. Do you think we will find any?

  1. P1A, it sounds like you are going to have lots of things to share with family and friends during our open day next week! How exciting!
    Maybe you could look at home to see if you can spot any examples of patterns that you could share with your class?
