Snap, clap, snap, clap...

In maths today, we made a pattern of a snap followed by a clap then a snap again and then another clap...(we decided three dots would mean ... and so on... because we thought that a pattern should continue)

We then tried to see if we could make the same pattern using other body parts.
here are some we thought of:

clap, click, clap, click...
clap, slap, clap, slap...
head, shoulders, head, shoulders...
stand up, sit down, stand up, sit down...

Then we made the same pattern in other ways, like:

sun, moon, sun, moon...
star, rectangle, star, rectangle...
1,2,1,2,1,2,1,2...
red, yellow, red, yellow...

Then we built the same pattern using cubes. Afterwards, we had a go at making some new patterns. How many different patterns can you see? What different ways can you find of describing your pattern?

It sounds like you all know so much already about patterns.

Mrs Horsford will have to think of some challenging pattern learning for us to do next week.

See you all on Monday.

Love Mrs. Horsford
