One of our areas of focus this term has been colour mixing and the children had great fun experimenting with this on a big scale outdoors last week. Their initial task was to make big bowls of paint of different colours then they experimented to see what happens when you add varying amounts of other colours to the original paint. A wonderful array of colours was produced until, mysteriously and slowly, it all seemed to transform into a muddy brown. The children showed good communication skills, as they predicted what would happen, made suggestions of what to do next and then discussed the outcome of their experimenting. Happy learning indeed!
