My Friend Leaf

’My Friend Leaf’

Heartfelt story about a boy who is starting a new school. He doesn’t have any friends but walking through the school gate he sees this perfect shiny green leaf laying on the ground. He thinks to himself ＂I will be your friend today, will you be mine?＂

During the symmetry lesson Sam realises his friend Leaf has a perfect line of symmetry and in nature there are many examples of symmetry.

A friend comes in all shapes and sizes. All you need are curious open eyes.

When you feel lonely look to nature for a friend. Whether it is a pet rock, a stick, a gumnut, a seashell, or a chestnut. It is up to your imagination! Connection is everywhere.

A teacher who is introducing symmetry to a class.
