Cooper Room



The Cooper children quickly embraced our new unit of inquiry, 'Conversations in Colour', when they came back to Cooper this week. We mixed coloured dye to colour our playdough, sorted coloured cars in their garages built with blocks, made new paint colours by mixing blue, yellow and red and mixed and matched transparent plastic colours on the overhead projector. The children also made collages with coloured celophane and tissue on plastic and tested them out on the overhead projector...
"I can see mine" said Angus and Bailey.
"You can only see the red" noticed Lily.
"It's just a rainbow. Some of the colours have gone away" commented Chloe.
You can check out the children's collage work on our Cooper windows when you go past!
Kind regards,
The Cooper Team
