P6b have been extending our science topic of mixing and separating into art this block. We have been mixing colours, using them to make these amazing name colour wheels. These have been made using only red, yellow, blue and black paints…

We have also used paint that doesn’t mix with water to create amazing marbled effects. This was great fun and every single one turned out differently.

We have been learning about the properties of 2D and 3D shapes, and have made these amazing creations out in the playground.

The class was challenged to create a dome using exactly 25 sticks. After a bit of thought the girls have done it!!

As part of our science topic this block we have been looking at how to separate mixtures. This week we used chromatography to separate ink samples, helping us to solve a crime!

Look at how the different ink samples separated:

So who do you think did it?
