In art, the children have been identifying the 3 primary colours – red, blue and yellow. Using these colours, the children then went on to mix the secondary colours – orange, purple and green.The children loved to experiment and recognised that whilst they were all mixing together the same colours, they were all creating slightly different shades. They learnt that this was because they were all mixing different quantities of those colours together.
The children each created their own version of a colour wheel which they will use throughout our topic to paint their favourite toys. We can’t wait to see them!
