Hi Primary 1

Thank you so much for all your lovely emails last week.  It made me feel happy reading each one.  If you haven’t got round to sending one yet, don’t worry, it would be great to hear from you.  I was delighted to read that some of you have been out posting your ‘hugs’ to friends and family.  I am sure they will be very happy to receive your kind words.  As always if you are having any issues with the grids, please let me know.

Have you been enjoying the sunny weather?  I chose the shadow activity from this week’s learning grid to try out in our garden.  I placed some dinosaurs in the path of the sun and drew around their shadows.

Next, I put out some paints.  I had red, blue and yellow paint at home, but I didn’t have any green, purple or orange paint.  What do you think I did with the yellow, blue and red paint?

I used colour mixing to make orange, green and purple.

Yellow + red = orange

Blue + red = purple

Yellow + blue = green

Then we used our paints to decorate the dinosaurs.

I really enjoyed this activity and you can add more detail to your picture, just like my daughter.  She decided that there should be asteroids and a volcano erupting.  You could use any objects to make shadows, decorate the drawings and then tell an adult a story based on your picture.
