Many of the children have been struggling with mixing colours so we spent the week introducing, discussing and experimenting with basic colour theory. The children also had the opportunity to talk about how colours relate to their feelings and emotions.
The children were very proud to learn that the Ecuadorian flag is made up of the primary colours with its yellow, blue and red stripes. They were also quick to inform us that the colours are not only primary colours but the yellow signifies the sun and the gold of Ecuador, the blue signifies the sea and the red for the blood of their heroes who died in the struggle for the freedom of Ecuador. Lesson over.
We couldn´t resist playing this colour related classic. The children´s flexibility was incredible but sometimes their little limbs just were´t quite long enough.
