Look at the image

With someone at home, discuss what you see!

Have a go at writing a story with a beginning, middle and end based on the picture.

Think about your title.

Here are some examples of what your title could be:

The Giraffe’s Van

RV at the zoo yet?

Art:

You will need a large piece of paper, a pencil and some coloured pencils.

Think of your favourite song.

Close your eyes and play your favourite song whilst letting your hand that is holding your pencil move to the music. Let your pencil draw the shapes you feel as you listen.

Only rule: You can’t take your pencil off the paper.

Open your eyes. You will now have lots of shapes on your paper.

These shapes need colouring in lots of different colours.

While you colour in, experiment with:

Pressing down hard with your pencil – what happens to the colour?

Pressing very lightly with you pencil – what happens to the colour?

Using small circles to colour – does your colouring become neater?

Using large strokes of the pencil to colour – do you feel you have less or more control over your pencil? Is your colouring neat or not when you do this?

When you have finished, share what you did with an adult at home.
