Dear Angwin Families
Angwin children have been beginning to quantify their recent
investigations about colour mixing. Using cellophane we have begun to isolate
which colours mix together to make new ones and transferring these discoveries
to the light table. Louis was particularly struck by his discovery after
sticking blue cellophane over red. He rushed to the light table to stack
transparent blue and red blocks. “Oh my God! It makes purple too!!” he
exclaimed.
We have also been using colour to create patterns on grids.
Do you know what a pattern is? Ask your Angwin child to explain it to you. Do you
know we even have a pattern on our ELC t-shirt?. We will be using our knowledge
about patterns to help us create a shared art work with the Edgerley children
next week.
After our excursion to Coopers Stadium last week
children have created their own mini oval. We can’t wait to see what colours
the players wear, could it be yellow and black for John or teal and black for
Felix? Finally we have begun to explore what colour can tell us about food. We
have been matching colours and scents in our playdough and even made strawberry
icecream… what colour do you think it is?
Have a lovely long weekend, see you next week
