Using  paint ice cubes children investigated mixing different colours.

Children then used this knowledge of colour mixing to create an umbrella.

They chose two colours to paint their unberella then mixed them together to create a third colour.

We then talked about warm and cold colours. Everyone had great reasons for why they might be referred to being a hot or cold colour;

‘orange is like fire and that’s hot’

’yellow would be warm because it’s like the sun’

‘blue would be cold because it’s the same as cold sea water’

’white is cold like the snow’
