Lesson plan
Arrange the children into pairs. Display each slide of the Presentation: Green fingers (Recap and recall) in turn and ask the children to tell their partner if the images have more blue or yellow in them. Ask them to also discuss which shade of green shown in the numbered circles best matches the green of the images. Encourage the children to think about what they can remember about the hue/shade.
Invite a child to click on one of the numbered circles to reveal the matching colour.
