Colour Mixing

The Junior and Senior Infants have had lots of fun exploring colours this week.

The Junior infants have been learning all about the three primary colours. They have also been exploring the superpowers that these colours have - did you know that when two super colours meet they magically create a new colour? The Junior Infants had lots of fun exploring these new colours by mixing paints and creating some lovely paintings.

The Senior Infants revisited the concept of primary and secondary colours and explored colours mixing through a different medium. The Senior infants observed what happened when 3 cups of coloured water were connected to each other with sheets of kitchen roll. They observed the water being absorbed by the tissue and when two different colours met and blended, it created a secondary colour, just as it did when the Junior Infants mixed the paint. The walking water experiment proved to have super powers just like paint!
