Spirals
As part of our harmony learning last half term we looked at circles in our environment. In school we drew around circles of different sizes and explored patterns and pictures that we could create. At home you explored circles in your homes, gardens and on your walks. This half term Mrs Bearwish has asked that we explore spirals and you could start with listening to this story.
Explore these spiral pictures below, what are each of these spirals made from?
You could explore spirals further by using some of the following questions:
Where else in nature could you find spirals?
Explore pictures of the galaxy, can you find any spirals amongst the stars and planets?
Could you find some on the beach?
You could search the garden. How about on the end of your fingers?
Any in the fridge? Or the kitchen?
How many things can you make spirals with?
Choose a spiral in nature to draw in great detail.
If you have an old ‘spirograph’ at home you could use that to make some spiral pictures, if not check out this video below about making your own! (Will require adult to make it!)
Good morning Miss Baker, Daisy has loved learning about spiral’s this morning, she has found some sea shells in the garden and also some amonite’s fossils, which we also used when we made salt dough fossils. She is currently making spirals out of play doh. Was good to speak to you over the phone, daisy is missing school and her friends, hope you and Mrs Jackson are well.
