Colours and what they represent
As part of our Science and Art Curriculum, we have defined colour and explored how colours combine to create other colours. The students have used prisms to reflect light on paper and in doing so created rainbows, they have created colour wheels and explored primary and secondary colours, warm and cool colours and shades (adding black) and tints (adding white). The students have graphed their favourite colour and explored what different colours commonly symbolize or represent through the website: Colours in Motion. Recently, the students, completed a writing task, expressing which colour is most representative of them and why. To complete their assignment, I have asked them to post their writing as a comment to this post. So, check out which colour your child thought represented them, below.

I'm most like purple because I like to draw. Every night when I go to bed I draw then read and draw again. Even at school I love to draw.

I'm red and purple. I'm nervous, evil and lonely. I'm evil because I'm a troublemaker.

I am purple because I went on a field trip and did lots and lots of art and I loved it. So I am artistic.

I think I am mostly blue but a speck of orange. I think that I am a blue because I like caring about people from the past and I like looking out for people because they are always there for you, so be there for them. I am an speck of orange because I like to be active. I am also cheerful because when people cheer for you it makes you feel good so you should make them feel good. Back to blue, I am also calm, thoughtful and thankful which I like being.

I think I'm red because I am a little bit cranky. The thing that caught my eye was that red is very funny and that red was very good on a pogo stick . The reason I think I'm like red is because I'm all of those things.

I'm purple because I'm artistic and am stuck up (snotty) sometimes. I don't mean to but it just comes out. I'm yellow too because I'm bright and kind. I smile a lot and I'm curious and funny too.

I'm orange because I'm cruel. I always shocker cable my friends until they fall down, but really we just laugh. I'm orange because I have good sportsmanship. I don't cheat. I am orange because I'm fun to play with. I'm like orange because I get too exited.
