MOTIVATION
One Monday morning, a little child asked to us: why the colours exist? That was the beginning of a discussion into the classroom. There where a lot of
theories.
At the end, we decided to investigate that subject in class. We invested 2 sessions per week, during two weeks, discovering colours around the classroom,
learning colour’ songs and playing them in front of the camera. The story “SMALL BLUE, SMALL YELLOW” brought us the opportunity to explore how to
melting colours in a big paper in order to create new colours. Finally, we had the occasion of playing with colours, in a computer.

We would like to remark that the main target of the whole topic was oral expression.

Today, the puppet want to tell us a story: LITTLE BLUE, LITTLE YELLOW.
This is a story about two little kids who after been melted, couldn’t be recognised by their respective parents. Only after the rain, they were again accepted by

the story.
