Colour inquiry kindergarten

Colour Exploration Our aim was to have the students explore colour using the primary colours. We placed only the primary colours (red, yellow and blue) paint at the art center for students to experiment with. We wanted the students to discover naturally that when mixing the primary paint colours, new colours can be created. For some students, this became evident right away as they mixed red and blue to create purple and yellow and blue to create green and yellow and red to create orange…

While we still explore literacy and math during station time, I am learning to grab onto these moments more often during play to show them how to apply these skills in their every day lives!

We have just started talking about documenting what we see through pictures. The next step will be to add labels…

One of our friends kept making kites during Thinking,Learning and Discovering Time. Before we knew it, making kites was a favorite pastime for many of them so I asked them if they would like to investigate kites. They were very excited! We started by finding out what they wondered about kites. Next, I set up an area where they could investigate try to find out some of these answers themselves. When they first started, they had trouble drawing the diamonds and triangles, but as time went on…

Allie Apels on Instagram: "🌈 Co-created Colour Wall 🌈 After reading, All Sorts, we worked with partners to sort a basket of loose parts that had “spilled” on the floor.

Then, they arranged and glued them onto their canvas. Finally, they wrote their colour name on a piece paper. When our students take part in…
