Being a new school means that we have the chance to start some traditions for the future students. One of those traditions is picking a school colour. Today we talked about how we pick colours and how colours can make us feel a certain way. We talked about what feelings we wanted to feel at school and what kinds of students we wanted to encourage. Some words that came out were: learning, creative, fun and problem-solvers.
For our spirit day tomorrow, students are invited to wear a colour that they think would represent Ken Taylor School the best. They should be able to explain why they chose that colour. Today we watched a video that Mr. Dyck and Mrs. Tuttle created to share a colour they think would represent Ken Taylor. They read a story and shared their feelings about the colour purple.
You can watch that video here:
School Spirit Video
As a family you could watch the video, talk about what colour your child will wear, then discuss why they feel that would be a good colour.
This image shows how companies use colour in their logos to invoke certain feelings. What do you think? Do these companies match their colours? Do you feel these feelings when looking at the logos?
