Dear Cooper Room Families and Friends,
We have had a lovely time in the Cooper room over the last few
days. We have had our movie day and enjoyed watching Madagascar . We
also had a great time up at the Rainbow Playground with two other classes.
On Wednesday we explored primary colours and thought about
and experimented what could happen if we mixed these colours together. To
do this we used coloured water, paint palletes and pippettes . Here is some of
the conversation that happened during this experiment...
Miss Cass: 'What could we do with this coloured water?'
Charlie P - 'If I put blue in it, it will mix to green. Like your
earrings. It turned! If we put red in it, it will change to pink.'
Miss Cass- 'What other colours could we mix?'
Charlie P- 'Maybe red and maybe blue.'
Rory- 'Now I'm going to mix some. I need a bit of green.'
Miss Cass- 'We don't have any green Rory. That's blue'
Rory - ' Oh we can make some green? With lots of yellow.
Miss Cass- 'What do you notice about the coloured water?
Ryan - ' Rory added some more colour and it change because it has
different colours.'
Nyanwell - 'It's turning blue and green because we added more
water.'
Zara - 'Yeah it makes different colours.'
After we had done some experimenting and discovered what
happens when we mixed primary colours, we used the pipettes and put
some drops of the coloured water onto small cotton pads . The children enjoyed
watching the colours mix on their cotton pads and many children
commented on how the cotton pads looked like rainbows.
This week the Cooper children have also enjoyed playing in
the mud kitchen and on the windy Wednesday afternoon we spent some time chasing
bubbles outside.
We hope your children have enjoyed our Autumn Program as
much as we have and we are looking forward to an exciting term two.
Miss C and Miss Cass
