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

All About Nine

The boys and girls in Room 7 get so excited when we start talking about things we know about the different numbers. Today we brainstormed what we know about the number 9!

Our Star of the Week!!  

We have been talking about primary colours. Last week we made a graph to tell each other which colour is our favourite primary colour. We could read the graph to see that blue was the most popular colour!

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 Wheel

Today we painted the "primary colours" on something that looked like a pizza cut into 6 pieces. We learned it is called a "colour wheel." Apparently we only had red, yellow, and blue paint in our classroom, so we mixed 2 of them at a time to create new colours-- orange, green, and purple -- which  we call "secondary colours".

      It was a school wide pajama day today!!  

Our division's police office stopped by to read to us today, as part of I Love To Read month.

No school for students on Friday, February 28th.  Inservice Day for teachers.

Primary colours

We have been learning about the primary colours. Today we traced 3 shapes (overlapped them) and then used only primary colours to paint inside the spaces.

   As you know, it is I Love To Read month.  Today we had a visit from Mrs. Deanne Crothers, who is the MLA for St. James. She read us a couple stories. 

  We ended the day with our Reading Buddies. We always look forward to reading with our buddies from Room 12!
