Primary and Secondary Colours

Using a marker, the students traced 6 circles on their paper. Then we read the book 'Mouse Paint' together as a class.  The students were asked to paint three of their birds in the primary colours (red, blue, yellow).  Then they were asked to paint their three remaining birds in the secondary colours (orange, purple, green) by mixing primary colours. Some students mixed with their brushes and some using their fingers! Once their birds were dry, they used markers to add in the legs, beaks and eyes.
