Tessellation Painting in Year 6

In Year 6 we were making some tessellating patterns.

A tessellating pattern in shapes made into a pattern but no gaps, like bricks.
We did this in the style of Islamic Art.  We used a range of colours and we used compasses to make circles.

After we did a few circles, we could see a flower shape where some of them were overlapping, there was also a diamond and inside the diamond there was a shape like an eye.

We used the six points of the flower to make a hexagon, and with that we divided it into lots of triangles and different shapes.

Y4K Sea Monsters...

Year 4 have written descriptions of Tudor sea monsters. We had to make them really detailed so that our friends could create an illustration using our descriptive writing. 

Well done for some really detailed writing and drawing!

Y4K Properties of 2D Polygons

Year 4 are learning about the properties of 2D polygons. We have used geoboards on the iPads to make different polygons and talk about the different families that they belong to. We then used isometric paper to accurately draw a range of polygons, listing their properties using bullet points. 

When you see us, please ask us all about the properties of 2D polygons! We can use words like regular, irregular, sides, vertices and angles to tell you all about different polygons.
