Tints and Shades

Today the boys and girls in room 15/16 were busy learning about tints and shades. These pictures helped us learn the difference between tints and shades. Can your child remember what happens when you add white to a colour? Is it a tint or a shade? What about when you add black?

Then, we made paint chips, using black, white and red. We even created names to match our colors, just like on real paint chips! Here are some examples of our work: 

This afternoon, students were given a painting challenge! We were exploring our gourds and pumpkins. The students were excited to paint them, but the only paint we could find was red, yellow and blue! Students quickly figured out that we could make the colours we need (green and orange) using the primary colours! Here is the beginning of our project: 

Halloween Update:

Next Wednesday is Halloween! Students are welcome to wear costumes to school for the day. We ask that students do not wear masks, or wear costumes that have weapons or violence. In the morning, there will be a small parade through the school, where students will be able to see all of the other children's costumes. The rest of the day will be spent in the classroom completing learning tasks, including building and stem challenges!
