Year Four have been looking at repeating patterns in their I.C.T. work this term.
We looked at some examples of wrapping paper with a repeating pattern and then decided which type of paper we would like to design.
In the I.C.T. suite we set up a grid for our images to sit in to create the repeating pattern. We then had to select our images and decide how many and in what order we wanted to use them.
We concentrated on using horizontal, vertical and diagonal patterns using two or three images.
Here are some of our results:-
An example of some birthday wrapping paper.
Some of our Christening gift wrapping paper.
Here is some more birthday present wrapping paper.
Look at this frightening Halloween paper!
If you want to wish someone luck you could wrap their gift in paper like this!
We then talked about the fact that some of our designs had been limited by the images that we could find so we decided to create our own images.
Here are some of our designs:-
Christmas is coming soon!
Football mad!
We even wrapped some parcels using our own wrapping paper.
