This is a copy of the note coming home today.....check your child's red folder.

Did you know...

Did you know that there are 3 primary colours? Did you know that you can mix the primary colours to make a secondary colour?  We tried this using our hands today! This is what we discovered/confirmed in this experiment.

                          

                                

We checked out this website today. http://pbskids.org/curiousgeorge/games/mix_and_paint/mix_and_paint.html

Colour songs

We have been singing some colour songs this year. Here are three of them that we wanted to sing for you. Maybe your Kinder child will sing the other ones for you at home!

We used clear hair gel and food colouring to experiment with another way of mixing colours. It was interesting to watch the colours blend together. Can you guess which 2 primary colours are in each of the bags to create these secondary colours?

Colour Magic

Today we did an activity that used only milk, food colouring, and a magic Q-tip!  It mixed the colours in really "awesome" patterns.

One of our Smart Board games had us sorting pictures by whether they were a primary colour or a secondary colour. The moving circles "sucked" up the picture if we sorted it to the right one!

We discovered that when we mixed all 3 primary colours together we got BROWN!   So we painted a brown bear today.

More magic!!!   We said a few magic words, gave this a shake, and then mixed up two primary colours to get the secondary colour for a minute, before it returned to the primary colours.

Everyone really enjoyed reading this book today. They thought it was pretty "cool".

Sharing time this week….. Show and tell us about something that starts with a /m/ sound…. like M is for March, or Mom

Do you know someone who is or will be turning 5 in 2014? 

IF they live in our area,  please have them stop by the school this week to register the child for Kindergarten. This is the time to sign up for Kindergarten for the 2014-2015 school year!  

George

One of the activities we did on the Smart Board today was a game about Curious George and colour mixing. The boys and girls had fun experimenting with the different colours that George made by mixing the primary colours, and by adding white.  You can check it out at home, too. Go to the following website:

This student said, "Look Mrs. Grant ! The pots are the primary colours!"

   Our artwork display in the hallway.  We traced 3 basic shapes...overlapped them....and then painted the spaces/shapes the primary colours. Then we did a shared writing activity about what we had done. 

       Check out our new couch !
