We learnt that the word symmetry means 'the same on both sides'.
Miss Rushbrooke laid out some big sheets of card on the carpet with a meter rule stick down the middle to represent our 'line of symmetry'. Miss Rushbrooke then laid out a shape on one side of the card, and then we had to make it look the same on the other side- making sure we chose the correct size and colour of shape each time- otherwise the 2 sides would not look the same.
Once we had all had a few goes with making symmetry pictures with shapes.....we had a go at making symmetry pictures with ourselves!....check out the pictures below.....
