Talking about patterns in nature and finding patterns in our environment was fun!

.  .  I want you to go outside with me and let's find patterns in nature. 

Ask me to explain why I think it is a pattern.

  Click on this pattern to watch more patterns with me.

 Click on this AB video and watch the explanation.

We read,  

Ask me to explain....     Where do I see a pattern?

 Look at the pattern and count the petals with me.

We found a  pattern in our room.

We found patterns on our clothes.

We learn about seeing a pattern and asking questions about how do we know this is a pattern.

 There are a few rules that we need to think about before we can say it is pattern😊.

We read,

We had fun looking for colours around us. Omar shared that he knew that Red, Yellow and Blue are primary colours. 

We looked around and found a primary coloured table in our  class. 

Wyatt said the yellow pencil is blending in. We talked about how animals blend in their backgrounds and why? Ask me to tell you...

The pencil is kind of camouflaged.

We experimented together with the primary colours.

A few of us experimented with colours at the light table.

Ask me to tell you how we made green purple and orange.

  Look what we found......

 two concepts in one basket!! Can you GUESS!!!

Primary Colours and an ABC pattern.
