This term in Maths, the Year 1’s have been learning about patterns. We have learnt about repeating patterns, number patterns and growing patterns. Below are some quotes from the Year 1’s about their new knowledge: 

“Repeating patterns are when you keep doing the same thing over and over again” - Jude 

“Growing patterns grow and have something added each time” - Savannah 

“My favourite patterns are the growing patterns because they are new, interesting and challenging” - Jordan

“We learnt how to describe the rule for patterns such as ABC patterns, AAB patterns or ABBC patterns” - Lucas

“We showed student voice in our growing patterns because we could make whatever pattern we wanted like a snowflake or a Christmas tree” - Rosanne

“It was super fun to make growing patterns because I got to make it bigger and bigger each time” - Samuel 

“I liked how we got to work in groups and work as a team to make some really cool growing patterns” - Eden 

“I liked making growing patterns because we could use the blocks to make lots of cool designs” - Emma

“Growing patterns can be many different shapes and sizes and we can all do it together as a team” - Maikeli
