The Reception children have been exploring colour mixing and thinking about the primary colours and what they mix with to create new colours. They have experimented with paint and now have explored colour mixing using coloured cellophane. They used cellophane sunglasses and put different colours together to see everything in different shades. Nehanda said “When I look out of the window it looks like orange, and when I look at the board, it looks like red.” They then used the cellophane to create some beautiful rainbow fish.
In Maths, the Reception children have been thinking about 2D and 3D shapes. We got the ramp out and predicted if each of the 3D shapes would roll down or not and discussed why. Arabella thought about the cylinder and said “If you put it on its side, it will roll fast. If you put it on the straight side, it will roll slow like the cube.” Charley thought about the cube and said “When you shake the ramp, it moves slowly because it is a square shape.”
