recognise, copy and continue repeating patterns represented in different ways

How Bloomi helps with this

This is a readiness-year topic that builds towards the next NAPLAN year. Bloomi practises it as curriculum mastery, never test drilling.

What this looks like in the classroom

• recognising, copying and describing different repeating patterns using materials, shapes, sounds and movements during activities and play; for example, making a bead necklace and describing the pattern they have created, such as, “red, blue, green, red, blue, green, red, blue, green”; copying repeating patterns of drumbeats or dance moves during music activities
• recognising repeating patterns used at home and in daily activities to help make tasks easier or to solve problems; for example, setting the table to eat
• recognising and describing repeating patterns that can be observed on Country/Place and in First Nation Australians artwork, cultural performances and material cultures; for example, shell and seed necklaces, dances and songs
