Geometric Art

Today we would like you to create a geometric picture. This fits into our math learning as it focuses on lines and shapes. 

To form this place tape onto a large sheet of paper to create a series of intersecting lines of various lengths and at various angles. Then decorate each shape with paint, pens or crayons. Below are some examples.

 

Star of the Day

Our Star of the day is Conrad, because we love the way he applied his understanding of geometric art to create a geometric t shirt - great job Conrad!


Daily Reflection
Good afternoon Year 2 we have loved seeing pictures of some of you working outside and having fun in the sun. We are so fortunate to have such lovely weather during our home learning days. The highlight today has been looking at your geometric patterns. We have enjoyed seeing the shapes you have created and the neatness of your designs.
