Our Favourite Part of the Day:
On Monday learned about numbers and did writing.
On Tuesday we learned about Rosie Racoon and colours.
On Wednesday we had calendar and centres.
On Thursday we danced and went outside.
On Friday we played with playdoh and had centres.
Colours:
We are almost done our colours unit. Here is a look at what we have learned so far:
Primary Colours
* There are three primary colours: red, blue and yellow. These colours can make other colours but we cannot make primary colours.
Secondary Colours
* There are three secondary colours: purple, green and orange. These colours are made by combining two of the primary colours together. We had a lot of fun experimenting to discover this.
We mixed red, blue and yellow playdoh to learn how the secondary colours are made. It was a fun hands-on activity.
Paint
We took turns squishing bags with paint to learn how secondary colours are made.
Roy G Biv
We have been reading the poem "Roy G Biv" to learn the different colours of the rainbow and the order that appear.
Awesome Rainbows
This is our favourite song and dance right now. Check out the youtube video and have fun dancing and singing with your child.
Marble Painting
We had fun rolling marbles around in paint to create this fantastic colour art.
Baking Soda and Coloured Vinegar
This was a great activity for practicing fine motor skills and reviewing colours. It was also a lot of fun to watch the baking soda fizz.
Candyland
This is a fun game for practicing colour words, counting and basic game skills.
Colouring Fish
The students had to figure out the colour word and the number of fish to colour. It was a tough worksheet but they figured it out.
Colour Word Sort
They had to practice reading the words by sorting them into groups.
