Exploring with Colours that Surround Us - Fine Arts/Science & Nature Class

November 24, 2014, 09:58 AM

 
Over the past two weeks, the children have noticed that colours were pouring into the classroom especially when it was a sunny day. We have since been exploring with colours through different methods of play.


 
First, children began to notice colours through coloured glass panels placed next to the windowsills. When the children looked through the coloured glasses, they were amazed at what we discovered. Through the coloured glass panels, the trees changed colours.





We then took the exploration further by using crystal blocks to play with colours. For example, as we placed the primary colours red and blue together, we discovered the combination of colours changed to purple.



Since we were all curious about the colours, we used paints to see if we could achieve the same effect as the crystal blocks. We then experimented with different colours of paint by mixing and blending colours.



We were still curious! Therefore, the children began with colour mixing for some experimentation fun. Using the primary colours, we were able to mix colours and see the results of the mixture.





We used eye droppers and glass bottles for our colour mixing.



The children were so careful with the glassware and took responsibility in washing the glassware for friends who were waiting for a turn.

Exploring is exciting and fun!

Until next time,

Karen
