Rainbows continue to be a symbol of hope. Hope is one of many emotions – what other emotions are there?
Different emotions are often connected to colours, think of the film Inside Out and how each character represented a different emotion and each character was a different colour… Saddness – Blue, Joy – Yellow, Anger – Red, Disgust – Green and Fear – Purple…
I would like you to draw a heart, you may be feeling lots of different emotions right now, choose a colour for each of these emotions and express how you are feeling inside the drawing of your heart. Examples can be found here – https://www.pinterest.co.uk/pin/415105290625952284/
Now focus on the colour red. This is often used to capture feelings of anger. Some people might feel angry and frustrated at this time because they can’t go out and see friends or relatives. You can use these resources on https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zbpv9j6/resources/1 to think about times when you feel angry and try to come up with three strategies to help you calm down.
One of these strategies might be through physical excercise. You could try out some Yoga! We have taken part in Yoga during PE and there are lots on the internet. Here is one which you might like to try – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sM5MGLMNN_E you could also visit the Cosmic Yoga page on Youtube too!
The colour red is also often linked to fire and images of dragons. This week, you could use the book, ‘How to Train Your Dragon’ by Cressida Cowell. Cressida has been reading one chapter of the book each day on https://www.boorg.uk/books-and-reading/have-some-fun/ Don’t worry if you have missed this as the links to the Youtube recordings are available here (https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLE5MZB5pedUMNJLdgu0wYaSlL0dRLHcU). You may want to listen to the story at your own pace over the week.
Continuing on from this you might want to learn how to draw Toothless and Hiccup with this lesson from Cressida Cowell – https://www.booktrust.org.uk/news-and-features/features/2016/december/drawing-hiccup-and-toothless-from-how-to-train-your-dragon/
Make sure to send me any drawings that you do!
Miss Girvan.
