Year 5 - Real Life Reflection


Today in Maths, we were learning about reflection and lines of symmetry. We learnt that reflective symmetry is when a shape or pattern is reflected in a line of symmetry / a mirror line. The reflected shape will be exactly the same as the original, the same distance from the mirror line and the same size.

We decided to make shapes with our bodies which demonstrate reflective symmetry. We had to copy our partner exactly to ensure we were reflecting our partners moves. 

We each for a chance to rehearse making shapes with your body that demonstrate reflective symmetry.



Finally, we got an opportunity to go outside and sequence our final reflection dance which included shapes which demonstrated reflective symmetry.

The year 5 staff were very impressed with how the children worked together demonstrating their reciprocity skills and they produced some fantastic dance sequences.
