Exploring with Mixing Colours!!

We are looking at George Seurat's artworks. He was well known for painting with dots. Before we start our own artworks using his style we have explored mixing paints. We found it interesting learning that red, yellow and blue are primary colours. We then had a go at mixing these primary colours to see what we got. These colours are called secondary colours. We can't wait to get started on our own dotty artworks!!!

Busy mixing colours!

More colour mixing!

We enjoyed learning what primary and secondary colours were!

Finding Patterns
We have been learning about patterns. We were creating towers with cubes by following guidelines. Then we had to try and spot a pattern to help us know how many cubes we would need.

Here are a few photos of us working in our groups:

Savannah, Bree and James working together.

Using the iPad to do record our work in our google drives.

Sorting the pattern!

Algebra - Maths

We are learning about Algebra in maths at the moment.  Today we looked at patterns and how to work out what object comes next in a pattern and later on in a pattern without actually having to make the pattern.  We used the New World minis to help us with patterns.

Here are some photos of us learning about Algebra patterns:

Everyone is eager to learn about patterns!

 Having a look at the pattern Miss Ward has made.

 Everyone is eager to answer the questions about the mini's patterns!

So many minis to make patterns with!

A pattern we started.  We worked out what would be in the pattern at certain numbers like 10, 14, 20, 52.
