Hungry Caterpillars

Our art focus this term is painting. We are learning to make secondary colours by mixing primary colours together. We used 'The Hungry Caterpillar' story as a model and mixed yellow and blue paint to make green. Then we made darker shades of green by adding more blue to the green paint for each section of the caterpillar's body.
