Activities in this teaching pack include display posters to identify and describe some of the shapes that can be seen in different objects around the local area and a worksheet to practise drawing examples of different types of patterns that can be seen in locations close to the school.

The interactive presentation can be used to explore how to insert and format shapes to build different patterns that might be seen around the local area.

This lesson is part of a computing scheme of work to get the children to investigate and practise how to create different graphic shapes that can be utilised when producing a flag representing the local community. There are teaching activities for shared learning, differentiated worksheets to support independent learning and interactive presentations to introduce concepts and key skills.
