Continuing with a colourful theme, this week we are looking at the work of Piet Mondrian. He used mainly primary colours to create his art work. Can you find out what the primary colours are and why they are special?
You could then perhaps try to recreate some of his work. The examples have used paper, but you could use felt pens, colouring pencils or paint if you wish.

Here are some activities to look at, increasing slightly in difficulty each time.

Enquiry
We have been thinking a lot about nurses past and present; with Florence Nightingale in the past and all the nurses and doctors of the NHS who have been working ever so hard. We have been using colourful rainbows to decorate homes and say thanks to all these special workers.
In Art we will be looking at colour. This week we will go outdoors on a colour scavenger hunt to see if we can find something for every colour of the rainbow.
Can you find different shades of the same colour eg. Different shades of green?
You could have a go too. I’ve attached a sheet if it would be helpful but you don't have to use it.
