Last week, we did some wind painting. We were learning about primary colours and how they can mix to make new colours. The primary colours are red, blue and yellow. We used these colours on paper plates and then held the plates against the wind. We were amazed by the pretty colours and patterns we created. We could also work out what direction the wind was blowing in by which way our patterns were made across the plate. It was great fun!

We completed our rainfall experiment at the start of last week. The weather has changed a lot recently. We have had rain and sunshine!  We discovered that we did not collect as much rain as we thought we would. We have come up with different reasons why we think this happened…

– It didn’t rain enough

– The wind blew our containers and the water came out

– The sun dried up the rainfall

– Not that much water falls in the same place

We are investigating this further. We are interested to find out where rain comes from and where the water goes because we agreed puddles don’t seem to last forever but lochs and rivers do. We have started to look at the Water Cycle to find out more!
