TERRIFIC TESSELLATIONS

Room 1’s tessellation art work

Room 1 has been learning about tessellations and we all made our own ones. They look really cool, everybody did a different pattern and a different colour. They’re  all very unique.
A tessellation is a template coped on a piece of paper over and over again to make a really awesome pattern then you can decorate it however you like but the simpler it is the better it looks
Everybody had lots of fun making them and they all look so colourful.
