(TERCER, QUART, CINQUÈ, SISÈ) Amazing Animals

We decided to join the Cambridge Penfriends project and try to create a relation with some students of foreign countries. We started by choosing an animal and then drawing it or inventing one using collage. Then we wrote a description with the help of our English teachers. The Cambridge Project provides you a topic to work on your cards. Once finished, can take some pictures and upload them to their website. It should have been fine if the school we were related would have answered my emails. We liked working on a given theme and seing what other children are doing. I'm trying to find another school which takes it seriously, but it looks like there are many "ghost schools" in the Cambridge Penfriends database...You can see some of our Amazing Animals cards in this link.

(SIXTH) - Colour Cercles (cercles cromàtics)

We first spoke about Newton's colour theory, defined what are primary and secondary colours. After we mixed wax colours to try and get black or white. Black was easy but, what about white? The experiment ended when we made the spinners in the picture above. You can see other picture in the Image Gallery.

(THIRD) - Bats (Rat penats)

We painted a template, then cutted out and glued the parts together. We also sticked a peck on the back so we could hang it up. As you can see they enjoyed it a lot and hurried to take it home! Check the Image Gallery for more fun.

The Colour Wheel and the Primary Colours

According to Newton's discoveries, colour can be "made" in two ways:

• Additive Primary Colors (Used in lights etc.): Red, Green and Blue
• Subtractive Primary Colors (Used in printer's ink): Cyan, Magenta and Yellow

Primary Colors used for most other manufactured pigments (paints, dyes, food colouring) Red, Yellow and Blue.
