BEING A LEARNER: Making patterns using pompoms and paint

For the last two weeks we have been working on patterns.  Miss Collins noticed on our school entry testing that many of us found reading and making patterns a little tricky.  So Miss Philp, Mrs Tizzard and Miss Collins planned some Math lessons around patterns to help us learn more about patterns.  

We have created patterns, looked at patterns and discussed what comes next, shared patterns and described to others how to make patterns.  Some our learning about patterns has even been artwork!  We are enjoying learning about patterns.   


We watched the Very Hungry Caterpillar on You Tube and then we make our own Hungry Caterpillar patterns using paint and pompoms.  It was lots of fun and it made us think!  


The pompom and paint ready to go!  




We had to dip the pompom in the paint carefully and think about what came next and where our pattern repeated itself.  


We made two caterpillars.  Miss Collins is going to put these on the wall once we have drawn legs on them.
