Aims: To explore other subject areas (Art). To understand the concept of primary and secondary colours.
Pupil Language: Purple, green, orange.
Teacher Language: What colour is this?
Extra Materials: Watercolours – paintbrushes.
- Tell children, in L1, that red, yellow and blue are primary colours. You can’t make them by mixing any other colours, whereas a secondary colour is made by mixing two primary colours.
- Refer the children to the picture and explain the task. Divide the class into groups of three. Give each group a set of watercolours and a paintbrush. Allow the children enough time to complete the task. Check their answers.
red + blue = purple
blue + yellow = green
yellow + red = orange
Alternatively, children work on their own and colour in the splodges.
