This morning we looked at and sorted lots of different things by colour.
We talked about what would happen if we mixed colours together. Dexter said that "if you mix blue and yellow it makes green" and Amber said that "red and white makes pink". But how could we test this out? Could we mix a red feather with a white piece of paper and make something pink? No! Luke said we could use coloured cellophane and several people said we could use paint. We decided to explore mixing colours using paint! We had lots of ideas about what would happen when we mixed other colours together - we thought purple and pink would make lilac, purple and green would make blue and red and green would make brown. We explored lots of colour mixing this morning using paints, chalks, cellophane and our colour paddles!
We learnt that red and yellow makes orange, red and blue makes purple and blue and yellow makes green. We could also make lots of different colours and different shades by adding more colours! Do you think adding white would make a colour lighter or darker?
This afternoon we were learning all about patterns. We read a story called My Mum and Dad Make Me Laugh, all about a boy whose mum and dad like to wear really patterned clothes! We made patterns using counters, threading beads and multilink and played a game on the iPad where we had to sort the different coloured objects and complete the pattern. We also made some patterned collages with animal print patterns and shapes and made some lovely pictures of the colourful patterned elephant, Elmer!
