Tessellations

PhotoPeach

We have explored what a tessellating shape is (a repeated pattern made by a single shape). We then created our own tessellation pattern. This proved to be more challenging than it first appeared. There was lots of learning around the need for accuracy, because if drawing and cutting are not accurate then the shape will not tessellate. The students created a tessellating shape and then identified what 'picture' the y could identify it to finish the art piece. Well done guys you came up with some creative patterns.

Challenge 3,4 and 5

Well done room 7! Challenge 3, 4 and 5 achieved! You can be proud of yourselves. Some of you conquered some really big fears. It was so good to see everyone giving their best, supporting each other and taking on the challenges. You also managed to gain lots of knowledge about survival, the bush, edible plants, and caves. It was great to see most of you up for an early morning run too - I like that attitude! It was such an awesome thing for me to watch you guys in these challenges. I'm looking forward to your personal reflections on your owns blogs.

A massive thanks to the parents who supported us in this. You were so helpful and made it all run smoothly. Hope you enjoyed your time too!
