Colour My World #1: Looking For Colours

The Water Group started our Colour My World unit with a group discussion. We talked about the different colours around us and where we see those colours. Theo sees colours on houses; Sophie sees colours in rainbows; Jayla sees colours on ponies; Charlie sees colours on shirts and pants; Olympia sees colours on people's faces; Lucas sees colours in paint; and Sasha sees colours on animals.

The children were all fascinated with rainbows. Some thought there were pink, brown or black in a rainbow. What are the colours in a rainbow? We found some rainbow pictures and counted the colours. There are red, orange, yellow, green, blue (some children think it's light blue), indigo (some children called it dark blue), and purple. We painted a rainbow chart for art and the children came up with things around us that go with each colour.
