Primary Colours

While sharing their knowledge about colour during the formative week, the children mentioned that we can use colour to decorate. With this in mind, we went for a walk in our neighbourhood to see how people use colours. We went on a primary colour hunt. While walking, Simon said, "I love exploring in our neighbourhood." Full of excitement, the children pointed out everything they found that was a primary colour: leaves, flowers, signs, houses and cars.
Byron noticed that a sign was orange. He pointed at it and said, "Look, it's orange!" Emilie remembered that by mixing the primary colours yellow and red, you get the secondary colour orange. For the next few days, we will be mixing and exploring colours.

COLOUR OUR WORLD

For the Formative week we gathered together and shared all of our Knowledge about COLOUR. 

The Key Concepts that we will focus our attention on during this inquiry are: 

CHANGE - Colour mixing 

FUNCTION - Colour is used to communicate and decorate 

PERSPECTIVE - Colour means different things to different people 

We started our inquiry by creating a map. On one side, we wrote things that we already know about colour and on the other side we will add new discoveries as we go. 

Here are some things that the wind group children shared about COLOUR - Colour is used to describe something, it makes things look different. Colour can make people feel different, especially happy when they wear a colour that they like (Simon). We use colour to decorate things around us (Sofia). By using colour we can make things look cheerful, beautiful (make up, face paint - Emilie and Byron). And Trystan also said that people that wear colourful clothes are awesome. 

We are all very excited to start exploring; mixing and playing with COLOURS!
