Mead


Dear Mead Room families,
Our ‘Conversations in Colour’ project has begun in earnest.  The children are capturing images of colour in our environment using the digital camera, choosing their own subjects independently.  We have been finding a myriad of opportunities to document colour, discovering many different shades, in many different places!

Our flower experiment is coming to a close.  We discovered that blue, red and green dye were easily absorbed up the stem and into the petals, but purple and orange were a bit disappointing.  We may have to repeat the exercise with different flowers and record our findings…. perhaps  we will achieve a different outcome!

We utilised shaving cream to revel in sensory exploration, adding colour later on in the week to add another dimension.  And despite only having one hand in operation,  Louis was keen to investigate the squishy, squashy foam.

Louis – its like playdough

Seb – its soft

Max P – cold

Ned – mushy, mushy

Wilbur – its all squishy

Have a lovely weekend.
Melissa and Maddie
