Spirals
As part of our harmony learning last half term we looked at circles in nature. 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?
What spirals might you find at the beach?
What spirals can you find in the garden or outside during your daily exercise?
Look closely at your fingertips. What do you see?
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!)
Finn enjoyed the story and he noted the hair on baby charlotte’s head was a natural spiral!
