During
our nature walk, the children picked various items in nature to explore
and observe. Out of those materials, we picked a couple of leaves to
look at. The children noticed that the leaves are yellow, but while
describing them in detail, they labelled the colours as following:
"brownish yellow", "darker yellow", "lighter yellow", "bright like the
sunshine yellow".
The
project we are working on right now is to create the colours that we
see on our leaves. We used yellow as the root colour and we added white
to create tints and black to create shades. The children noticed that we
could alter the colours by adding more or less white/black to the hue
colour (root colour - in our case yellow). 
Esme "If you put too much black, then it will actually turn our colour into black and we can't see the yellow anymore." 
Grace "The more white we add, the lighter it becomes."
Luca "I would like to add more black to my mixture to make it darker."
