Year 2 spent the afternoon exploring primary and Secondary colours. Firstly, we identified the primary colours and looked for items around our classroom. After this, we looked at what primary colours we would need to mix in order to create secondary colours.

Before we began mixing our paints, we practised how to hold our paintbrush correctly. 

We then used a colour wheel to paint on the primary colours. Once we achieved this, we then mixed together two primary colours in order to create a secondary colour.

We had lots of fun investigating the colours we could make out of mixing the primary colours together. 

Miss Fortner and Miss Merrick then challenged us to make lighter/darker versions of the colours we had created and we will be looking at further into tones and shades next week!
