As part of our learning about 2D shapes, students explored the features of different shapes, including their sides and corners. Students then selected their favourite outdoor space and used only 2D shapes to create a unique artwork of that place. 

Using a range of shapes, students carefully planned and designed their pictures, thinking about how shapes can be combined to represent real-world objects and environments. This hands-on activity allowed students to apply their mathematical understanding while expressing their creativity. 

Students also investigated rotational symmetry, exploring how some shapes can be turned around a central point and still look exactly the same. Through hands-on activities, they identified shapes with rotational symmetry and discovered how many times a shape matches itself during a full turn. 

We are very proud of the wonderful artwork students created and the way they used their knowledge of shapes and symmetry to bring their favourite outdoor spaces to life.
