In this lively 30-minute lesson for primary gifted learners, students dive into the Depth & Complexity thinking tool of Patterns through literature, art, and movement. Using Pattern Fish by Trudy Harris as inspiration, they explore how patterns appear in stories, nature, and everyday life.

Students identify and discuss patterns from the book and their own experiences, deepening their understanding of how patterns help us predict and make sense of the world. Through hands-on STEM-inspired activities, they create their own repeating patterns using colorful art materials or movement sequences like claps, stomps, and jumps.
