from another character’s perspective, including correctly punctuated speech. The children will also
include onomatopoeia, impact sentences, a range of punctuation they have been taught in Year 3
and interesting vocabulary. Children will also complete their PIRA reading test this week. To link their
learning together, in PDW, children will be explaining how their actions and the actions of others
impact upon others. In science & computing children will be using their knowledge of light and
shadows to create a short shadow puppet story (The Iron Man) and will record and edit it using an I-
pad.

4Art
Research Roy Litchenstein’s style then create your own portrait of The Iron man using his ‘dots’ style. Try to
make each section different colours, so if you do green eyes in one, use different colours for the eyes in the
other 3 pics.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6jowA-pH-Y8
5Can you use a program (like Paint) on your computer, to paint the roboots face – using dots – in the Roy Lichrenstein style? Then you can use the
page below to create four different designs in the style of Lichtenstein. Try experimenting with a range of contrasting, bright colours or different
sizes of dots, or even different mediums (like pen, pencil, paint, chalk) or different tools (cotton buds, finger tips, pen thicnknesses) to see which style
you prefer…
