Mixing colours made for a wonderful hands-on learning experience.

The children explored what happens when different colours are mixed together, helping them recognise colours and understand how new shades can be created. They also enjoyed a sensory element with the cornflour, using curiosity and creativity to investigate textures, movement and change.

To extend the learning even further, the children were challenged to create their very own rainbow using the tubes.
