Writing
In English, we have been upleveling our sentences turning boring regular sentences into SUPER SENTENCES.
.
Take this image, for example I could say:
An otter sits in a classroom.
But on its own, that sentence is boring. What if I said:
The brown, fluffy, attentive otter sits in a tidy classroom on a cold winter's day.
Suddenly I have a super sentence.
Task: I have asked AI to generate some images connected to our class text book Cinnamon + a squirrel and otter image for fun.
For each image write a super sentence following the mild, medium spicy instructions below. I have included two word mats to help you with ideas.
Mild: Write a sentence for each image and use as many adjectives (describing words) as you can in your sentence.
Medium: Write a sentence for each image and use as many adjectives (describing words) as you can in your sentence. Also, include a prepositional phrase (a prepositional phrase tells us how, where and when something is happening).
Spicy: Pick one image and write a paragraph describing everything you can see using adjectives and prepositional phrases.

Art
Finally, in art we have been studying the work of Wassily Kandinsky have a look at his most famous painting “Squares with Concentric Circles”
Your task is to create your own version of this painting, but you can use any colours you want.
Watch this video on the colour wheel for some ideas on how some colours work better together than others:

You can use any type of pencil/felt tip/paint you might have but experiment with different colours inside the different circles.
