• This week we will be learning about symmetry. Click on the link to watch this video of the book Seeing Symmetry being read to explain. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lGs676XuDwY
• Cut out a few simple shapes (square, rectangle, square, star, heart etc). Tell the child symmetry is when you draw an invisible line through the middle of a shape and both sides match. Begin to explore folding the shapes symmetrically in half. Fold a shape in half, unfold it and draw a line on the fold to emphasize it or cut the shape in half. Ask the question ‘what do you notice about what I have done to the shape?” Talk about folding it down the middle and how it is folded in half. Now cut the shape down the middle. Take away one half and paste the other half onto a piece of paper. Can the child draw the other half of the shape? Can they explain how they knew what to draw? Repeat the same activity with the other shapes. Ask the same questions and model the activities with the shapes.
• Play the symmetry matching game https://www.topmarks.co.uk/symmetry/symmetry-matching
