Robert’s Evening Colours: Activities

Shared Reading · Year 4. An adult reads the questions and clues aloud. Children can talk, point, sign or choose an answer. For Jumbled Words, show the matching vocabulary word and build it together; children do not need to read independently.

Vocabulary

Read these five words from the story. Talk about what they mean.

sketch: A drawing used to explore or record an idea.
mixture: Something made by combining materials or colours.
contrast: A noticeable difference between neighbouring things.
distant: Far away.
version: One form of an idea that can be tried in other ways.

Jumbled Words

Use the clue to make a word from the story. Drag the letters with a mouse or finger, or tap a letter and then a space.

Put the story in order

Drag the pictures into order from first to last with a mouse or finger. Or tap a picture, then tap where it should go. Use arrow keys to move a focused picture.

Tell the story

Observe a view safely with an adult. Test three colours, compare light and dark, and discuss whether a soft accidental edge helps the picture.
