Spiders and their Webs for Halloween

 On Friday we did art to help us use the maths skills that we have been learning. 

First we had to fold our paper to make a square.

Then we had to fold the paper in half (1/2) to make a rectangle.

Next we had to fold the paper in half again (which made quarters (1/4).

We then had to find the middle and draw a straight line using our ruler from the middle point to the bottom corner point.

After this we had to draw a parallel line on both the left and the right.

Finally we had to draw an even number of curved lines on either side of the parallel line.

we then coloured in the middle line and every other line, this helped to guide us when cutting.

After making the web we coloured in the different parts of our spider before cutting it out. We then glued our spider legs to the back of the body making sure that they were glued symmetrically (where I glued one leg, I had to glue the opposite leg in exactly the same place).

We had lots of fun making our web and spider. it was great that we could also take it home to share with our family.

Here are the links to the sites we used to make our web and their spider. I hope you have as much fun making these as we did in Room 6.
