LO To respond to a story with my own art. To give instructions. This week we’d like you to get creative and make your own character from the story or sea creature that could be friends with Rainbow Fish! You can use any materials you like and there are some ideas on the next page.

1. Create your piece of story art 2. Tell us how you made it by writing some

step by step instructions to help us have a go! (These can be written or said verbally, but look out for ‘bossy verbs’ and numbers or time words)

You can combine this with your Topic Art activity if you would like to!
