Year 1 @ Brookburn

Hello!
KS1 have been busy this week exploring everything that the grounds of Brookburn has to offer!
In Year 1 we discussed what happens when we mix the primary colours red, yellow and blue. We then carried out a first-hand colour mixing experiment to make the appropriate secondary colours using a palette of primary colours. We made lighter and darker shades of these colours, particularly using natural colours such as green and brown. After that we explored the outdoors to colour match our shades to interesting things from around the school grounds and we later shared each group’s collection with the rest of the class – sorting all items into groups and selecting categories e.g soft/hard, man-made/ natural., trasparent/opaque. We also worked in groups to use the outdoors to collect and collage different materials to make pictures and models using small and large scale construction. We hope you enjoy our photographs and we would love for you to blog us with any questions you have about our imaginative creations- can you guess what we have made?
Year 1/2.
