COLORFUL DAY IN THE WOODS January 2015 Iceland

The color scheme • We started the day making masks and talking about different colors.

That reminded me of this blog I saw looking for different colors in the snow. After telling the children about this idea the first response I got from the children was that it would be really difficult. But hey we had to have a go. We started coloring an egg carton in different colors and letting it dry before we went off into the woods. After explaining to all the children what we were doing we got nearly all of them involved in looking for things on our way and compare it to the colors in our egg carton

Subject explained and children and teachers hard at work

AFTER WE GOT HOME It was time to reflect on what we found. And talk about the different colors that were in the box, did we all agree on that gray was gray or was gray maybe black? was brown maybe purple and so on
