In class this week, we will be listening to 'The Colour Monster' by Anna Llenas. It's a lovely story that links feelings and emotions to colours. Below is a link to the story on You Tube.

Have a go at some of the activities below;

• Retell the story from the point of view of the Colour Monster. Could you write his diary?
• Write a separate story about an angry Colour Monster or a sad one.
• Think of synonyms for the names of different colours, e.g. red = crimson, maroon, cherry, ruby.
• Create your own Colour Monster puppets and use these to put on a show.
• Can you mix colours? What new colours can you make?
• Try using paint to mix different shades of the same colour. 
• Practice drawing faces that show different emotions. Can you draw a happy face? Can you draw and angry face? Use a mirror to see how your facial expression can change to show emotions.
• Have a go at the two activities below.
