Experimenting with primary colours to create secondary colours. We learnt that primary colours are colours that cannot be made by mixing combinations of other colours. Red, yellow, and blue are the main primary colors.Secondary colours are made by mixing two primary colours. Green, purple, and orang20191113_114539 ge are all secondary colours.Tertiary colours are made by mixing secondary and primary colours.20191113_114338 20191113_114147 20191113_125827 20191113_125820

Investigating magnets and materials

We had lot’s of fun investigating magnets and materials. We learnt that a magnet is an object that is made of materials that create a magnetic field. Magnets have at least one north pole and one south pole.

Magnets attract, or pull, things that are made with iron. Paper clips, scissors, screws, teacher’s whiteboard are just a few classroom objects, that are magnetic. We learnt through experiment thst a magnet will not attract paper, rubber, wood, or plastic. 20200206_094228 20200206_094047 20200206_094007 20200206_093934 20200206_093923 20200206_094510 20200206_094502 20200206_094458 20200205_133218 20200206_094352 20200205_130956 20200205_130939 20200205_130916 20200205_130910 20200205_130904

Drum Nature

We had lots of fun at our drum nature workshop today. We played different types of drums, along with other instruments. We learned that rhythm is a pattern and that a polyrhythm is the combination of two rhythms played at the same time, in a musical composition. 20200114_105812 20200114_105430 20200114_105419 20200114_105412 20200114_105402 20200114_105356 20200114_105234 20200114_105227 20200114_111757 20200114_105825
