outdoor patterns

Patterning

We are making patterns with one or two attributes that change (colour, shape, size, position)

We headed out to our outdoor classroom to gather materials to make our patterns.

The girls started with big stick, small stick, big stick, small stick.

They circled the pattern core with chalk (the smallest part of the pattern that repeats).

'Our pattern is brown leaf, yellow flower, green grass, brown stick...its a colour

 pattern and a shape pattern...'

'Look we circled the pattern core!'

'Our pattern has the colour change and the shape...'

Helping at Home
Encourage your child to make patterns with their toys.  Try to make a pattern that has 2 attributes that change.  (blond hair Barbie, pink Shopkin/ Tall Skylander, Small Lego Man)
