Over the past few weeks we have been learning about painting. We have been focusing on mixing colours and started off by talking about the colour wheel and all of the different colours which can be made from the three primary colours.

We mixed blue and yellow to make green. We painted some blue balloons, then yellow balloons then made our own green balloons. With crayon we added some string to the balloons.

We then used these skills to paint a seascape and learned to blend the colours.

We drew and cut out fish to add to our seascapes.

We then moved onto more colour mixing. We mixed red and yellow to make orange. We painted red squares, yellow squares and then mixed both colours to make our own orange squares.

We completed these by adding doors, windows, roofs and chimneys to the squares using similar coloured crayons.

We have one more lesson to complete where we will be painting a sunset sky using our mixing and blending skills.
