Reception - Colour Mixing
Today, the children continued their exploration of colour mixing, incorporating a bit of science into their learning. They used spray bottles filled with water to spray onto tissue paper, observing how the water caused the colours to run and blend. As the colours transferred onto the plain paper underneath, the children were fascinated by the patterns and mixes that appeared. Throughout the activity, the children engaged in discussions about the different colours they could see and how they changed when mixed together. They expressed excitement and curiosity as they observed the effects of the water on the tissue paper. Many children took pride in their artwork, eagerly sharing their creations with others. This hands-on experience encouraged creativity, scientific thinking, and exploration of colour mixing in an engaging and interactive way.

Online Safety - Roblox
Whilst they can be a great way for friends to socialise, online games like Roblox that allow multiplayer gameplay with strangers are always fraught with a variety of dangers that can expose children to inappropriate or harmful content. Roblox enables people to play anonymously, which can often be something that attracts people to misuse the game and potentially put young people at risk of harm. In addition to interacting with random strangers across the world, other factors such as in-game purchases and potential scams can also pose a financial risk. It’s important that parents and educators remain aware of the risks associated with this popular title and how it can be used safely. This free guide – also available in podcast format – offers parents and educators expert advice on what can be done to ensure that young people have a safe and enjoyable experience with Roblox.
