You will need blank colour wheels split into six segments, images to show mixing colours to create secondary colours, red, yellow and blue paint and pre-mixed purple, orange and green paint.
Differentiated Activities
Task A - Paint the sections of the colour wheel using the primary colours.
Mix primary colours to create the secondary colours.
Describe what colours are made when mixing different primary colours.
Task B - Paint the sections of the colour wheel using the primary colours.
Mix the primary colours to make secondary colours for your wheel using the colour guide to see which colours to mix.
Task C - Paint the labelled sections of the colour wheel using the primary colours.
Then paint the pre-mixed secondary colours into the wheel.
Key Vocabulary

Celebration Ideas
Exit Points
To celebrate the learning achieved throughout this unit, here are some examples of planned exit points for the children to showcase their learning.
Resources
You will need brown paper (scrunched up to give the appearance of a cave wall), coloured pastels, charcoal, paintbrushes, sponges, toothbrushes and straws.
Classroom Caves
Children create their own caves within the classroom. (They could sit under tables).
• Use brown / orange / beige sugar paper.
• Children make their own drawings on the ‘wall’ of their cave.
Cave Art
Continue the class project from last week. Create pieces of cave art including pictographs (cave painting), petroglyphs (carvings) and hand painting (prints and stencils). These can be used for a classroom or corridor display.
Art Museum
Invite parents/carers in to view the children’s artwork created over the last Half Term.
