• Following on from last week’s activity about the colour GREEN, this week’s challenge is to focus on the primary colour RED
RED and GREEN are complementary colours. That means that they are opposite each other on the colour wheel. Look at this site to explore further: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0JY-zqKuRtk
Activity: Draw and colour a Red Monster and add something green to complement their colour! Maybe it could be a friend, their favouritefruit, the background or a pet.
