Rainbow Day

 



Everyone was brightly dressed in their ``rainbow best``. We enjoyed eating the rainbow and discovering the wonderful colours that all the primary colours can make.








Our Co-Created Colour Mixing Canvas

 

It was red and blue day on Thursday and students were excited to visit the art studio to ``mix up some magic``. Many students discovered the magic of white with the corn starch they added. They created: sky blue, bubble gum pink and light purple

On Wednesday, we asked all students to wear yellow and blue. In the art studio we played with these colours to discover the marvelous shades of green!

Charley made the same colour as Miss Bomberry's shirt!

A week of colour discovery - September 22-26, 2014

Our Week Of Colour Discovery

Throughout the week we learned songs for each colour and learned how to spell the colour words. We created a special rainbow treat to eat on our Friday Rainbow Day by adding new layers of jello each day to our pan (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple). Our students learned that their our three primary colours that magically mix together to create 3 different secondary colours. The students worked together to create a canvas for our art studio to remind them which colours are primary (red, yellow, blue) and which colours are secondary (orange, green, purple)

 On Tuesday, we asked all students to wear red and yellow and throughout the day, we invited each student to our art studio to discover the "magic" that these 2 primary colours can make.

They discovered that when they added corn starch to their colours, the colours got lighter.
