Cooper Room



Last week Chloe brought a paint roller to show the class at show and tell time (she had been painting the house with her dad in the holidays). Everyone was interested in having a go at roller painting and we thought that this would be a good extension of our work with primary colours. The children used the rollers to create large bright paintings, stretching their arms up high to make big rolling marks. They found that when two colours overlapped new colours were created and when all the colours were painted on top of each other it made brown...
"Well I changed it green" said William.
"Look at mine... blue, yellow, orange" Asher showed us.
"When you mix it, it turns into a different colour" explained Sebastian R.
"Oh look, it's turned green" said Jacob, "I put yellow on the paper with the roller and then dark blue went over it when I used the roller."
Kind regards,
Cooper Team
