Warm and Cool Colours

Room 12 is learning about warm and cool colours.  As part of our Nursery Rhyme unit we learnt the nursery rhyme "I'm a Little Teapot".  The children drew their own teapot in pencil and then traced over it in black vivid.  The children then chose to paint their teapots with warm or cool colours.

Marble Painting

Room 12 have been exploring different ways of painting.  The children have used string, cotton buds, sponges and brushes.  Today, the children used "marbles".

We used the lid of photocopy paper box, purple, green, yellow and orange paint, white paper and marbles.

Almiji enjoyed moving the box backwards and forwards.

 Sam tipped the box.

 Charlette enjoyed watching the marbles make patterns.

 

 

The children covered the marbles in paint and using a spoon dropped the marbles in the box.  The children then rolled the marbles around the boxes making tracks.

Sponge Painting

The children have been exploring different tools to paint with.  They have used cotton buds, string, droppers and on Wednesday they used small pieces of sponges.  The children dabbed,twisted, turned and wiped using the sponge.
