them extra assistance when needed.
Closure (5min.):
To finish up the class we will rejoin on the carpet as a class to review the items that we found around the school and
what colour they were. A closing question to the class (and a sponge activity if there is extra time) will be to think
about what other colour these items can be found in, for example the tree we saw was green, what other colours can
trees be?
