Peacocks

This week we have been looking at different colours and have had a go at mixing colours. Henry noticed that the tail of a Peacock looks like a Kaleidoscope so we tried to make our own Peacock feathers. We coloured patterns using red, blue and yellow onto a coffee filter and then watched what happened when they went in the water. We enjoyed watching the colours spread and were amazed when purple and green colours appeared too. Even the water changed colour!!

 

We visited St. Luke's sensory room and enjoyed looking at the different pictures change on the walls when we moved the sticks over the lights. There were textured spots which felt funny on our feet when we walked on them. Some of the pictures on the floor changed when we touched them, showing different patterns.

 

In Maths we wanted to find out what everyone's favourite colour was. We used the unifix cubes and built towers of different colours. Blue seemed to be Nursery's favourite colour.

 

Some of the children in Treetops made their own sensory bottles using oil, water and food colouring. They added sequins and beads and found out whether they floated or sunk.

 

Next week our sound of the week is 'o'.

 

We are going to be finding out about Chinese New Year.
