Orange Colour

Today, we move on with another colour – Orange. Orange is a very distinctive colour that children could actually differentiate it from yellow or any other similar colour. Before we start, we observe everyone’s clothes whether there’s any orange colour. Most of the children could actually tell the actual colour while some still confuse with it.

Then we had a brainstorming session about things which is orange in colour.

Teacher: What are the things in orange that you know?

Li Heng: Orange.

Yee Jie: Cheese. (children started to argue that cheese is yellow in colour, not orange.)

Qi Jie: Pumpkin.

Xin Yi: Shirt.

Emerson: Carrot.

Song: Orange is the colour (Tune: Yankee Doodle)

Orange is the colour of

So many things we see.

Would you like to sing a little

Orange song with me?

Orange juice and orange cheese,

Orange carrots, if you please.

Orange pumpkins, orange leaves,

Let’s sing a song of Orange.

After that, I asked the children to look for a thing that is orange in colour to show it to their friends. They searched around the classrooms for things in orange. Most of them got a toy in their hand except for Teng Hong who found an orange colour pencil.

Tomorrow we shall try and see if we could do some orange homemade play dough for the children to play.
