Mead Room




Dear Mead Parents,
The children have enjoyed exploring colour in more detail this week. We have been focusing on a specific colour every week which has given a specific focus for our 'Show and Tell' sessions. This week our room has turned to blue investigations. We have tasted Jack's blueberries, painted with different shades of blue, made blue collages, done blue spray painting outside at the easels, sorted objects into colour groups and mixed colours using droppers onto blot paper.
We have also discussed our favourite colours and put our individual photos on them so we can see which colours are the most liked in our room! At the moment it is looking like yellow is the most popular colour.
"I like black. Cars are black and the storm is really black" - Raphael
"I like red. Red is like a picture of fire engines" - Jacob
"I love pink. It's my favourite colour. I like it because colours are mixed pink. Pink and white" - Gwen
"I like black. I have a black pencil and black makes me happy" - Sebastian

Best wishes,
Emma, Susan, Cristina and Heidi
