Tessellation

I shared this google doc with the class on which they found  the link to the Blendspace lesson on Tessellation.  The children worked independently through the lesson, watching videos and completing activities.

One of the activities was to create their own tessellation pattern using Google Draw.

The second activity was to watch a YouTube movie on making their own tessellation template by following instructions.  Most of the children were highly successful and everyone reflected on if their pattern worked or not.

Scratch

Today Mr Crowhurst came and taught us how to use Scratch which is a coding programme. Coding is like learning how to write a good book. We all know how to play computer games but we don't know what goes into making those games. Coding teaches us that.  We are learning how to programme our 'sprite' to make a rectangle and a triangle. It's harder than you'd think!!
