Repeating patterns

Today we used our learning about repeating patterns to decorate an Easter Egg. Some of us incorporated some of the pointillism skills we had practised after learning a little bit about Australia. Most of us chose to use felt tip pens but some did remember how to blend colours using colouring pencils. All of our funky fingers exercises have certainly improved our pencil grips! Miss Sullivan was very impressed with the way we controlled our pencils and pens today.

William’s egg was very interesting, he cross hatched his lines to make a unique pattern. This skill was also explored in his funky fingers learning this morning when he crossed elastic bands over one another to create a ‘’star.’’

Thomas showed great skill at drawing straight lines with a ruler…he was so careful and precise that the other children asked him to draw theirs too.
