We have returned to the concept of repeating patterns this week. The children have been deepening their understanding of different patterns, developing a more secure knowledge of pattern rules and becoming more confident in verbalising their thinking. Children have been supported in drawing out the unit of repeat from a pattern shown to them. They then enjoyed inventing and describing their own patterns. In a next step, children looked carefully at a friend’s pattern and tried to copy it.

Why not have a go at acting out a repeating pattern at home, for example, head, shoulders, knees, head, shoulders, knees….? Or head, head, knees, knees, head, head, knees, knees?

Preparing for Wimbledon

The racquets and balls have been out to get us in the mood for the start of Wimbledon next week. Budding Jack Drapers and Emma Raducanus have been learning to control the ball and develop their hand-eye coordination.
