The Impact of Colour

Year 6 had a very unusual experience today. Instead of learning at their tables, they learnt beneath them! Enclosed by black sugar paper, the intrepid explorers crept excitedly into the dark cavern to experience being in the 'den'. It was incredibly cramped and the children soon felt hot. After a few moments, year 6 crawled back out into the open where they then wrote down their reactions to being in the den. One particular statement was I could feel the heat hit my face as soon as the door was closed.
Next, coloured film was positioned across a thin gap running along the top of tables. The children crawled through again. This time the effect of the coloured light had totally changed their views. The children began to write about the warmth of the sun, cosy colours and relaxing moods.
After a short chat, we realised the dramatic impact light and colour has on our moods.

What colour is the most relaxing room in your house? Which colour makes you feel happy?
