Reception - Colour Mixing
Today, the children continued their exploration of colour mixing, incorporating a bit of science into their learning. They used spray bottles filled with water to spray onto tissue paper, observing how the water caused the colours to run and blend. As the colours transferred onto the plain paper underneath, the children were fascinated by the patterns and mixes that appeared. Throughout the activity, the children engaged in discussions about the different colours they could see and how they changed when mixed together. They expressed excitement and curiosity as they observed the effects of the water on the tissue paper. Many children took pride in their artwork, eagerly sharing their creations with others. This hands-on experience encouraged creativity, scientific thinking, and exploration of colour mixing in an engaging and interactive way.
