Colour My World
Short description
"Colouring my world" works on Each colour representing a single aspect of learning. Viz a viz Red for passion, orange for food (because orange is a homonym for fruit) , yellow represented sunlight and so we used this colour to illustrate climate. Green for the environment, Blue of course is music (the blues) Indigo symbolised the arts and violet (purple) the roman colour of nobility is for historical heroes. This allows us to link sport, heritage, science, music, the arts, the environment and cuisine into a single common project. Crucially the colours combine to create white light and this is symbolic of the full spectrum of disciplines needed to create a rounded education.

It demands active learning by providing activities which require students to ask questions and to find answers through teamwork.
