Creating Family Art
This week we will be learning about our families and there are lots activities you can choose to do after listening to the story I am reading for you. Watch the video of me reading 'The Family Book'
Choose one or more of the challenges that your family would like to complete with you and then send your photos to us

Exciting Science Challenge (You need a packet of Skittles sweets)
Do the ‘skittlescope experiment’ together and use your speaking skills to find out what will happen.
First of all watch the video and talk to your family as you find out together. Explain what you think is happening and try to work out what will happen next as you watch this video. Then retell the video and carry out the experiment for yourself using your super scientist skills.
Messy Outdoor Art Challenge (see photo below)
Create a picture on an old bed sheet using paint filled balloons, your feet, hands and body! Use your hands to move the paint and draw your family’s faces. Can you write your name too? Talk to your family about completing this challenge, listen to each other and decide if this is something your family would like to do. Hope the weather doesn’t stop your fun! After creating your art, hang it up on the fence outside and see what happens when it rains next.
What happened to the colours as they mix?
Do you think your art will look the same as the children’s in your class at school? Why do you think that?
Artist’s Creative Colour Mixing Challenge (see photos below)
Use a paintbrush to experiment mixing new colours using 2 or more paints. Use these colours to paint a picture of something you like. You might want to paint your family or your house or a pet or another rainbow for your window? You can choose anything you want because you are the artist.
The picture below is by an artist called Banksy and he created it to honour the NHS workers. I love how the ‘S’ is like the Superman logo because our NHS workers are all Superheroes.
I can’t wait to see your photos!
Have an amazing time learning with your family
