I picked the flower from the ground and as I touched it, I felt the smooth texture of it’s petals and was mesmerised with the bright yellow colour it was reflecting. I wondered if I can extract some colour out of it. Therefore, I tried to squish and squeeze the petals  and see if something comes out of it. I felt the juice on my fingers. It was sticky with the fragrance of the flower. Furthermore, I blend it with some water so as to create a paint. It actually turned out to be yellow liquid which I could do painting with. As it was mixed with water, it’s texture became thinner and not sticky anymore. I used the yellow colour extraction to do some thumb painting on the paper and it turned out to be a beautiful flower.

Place-Thought is the non-distinctive space where place and thought were never separated because they never could or can be separated. Place-Thought is based upon the premise that land is alive and thinking and that humans and non-humans derive agency through the extensions of these thoughtsWatts,(2013).

Learning activities using light is an innovation in early childhood learning activities that can attract children's attention to explore, think creatively and critical thinking early on.When children feel happy, they will find it easier to interpret, understand and interested to exploring new things.

As I went for the morning walk, I heard birds chirping, wind blowing, sounds by leaves and branches moving with the wind and even my footstep sounds, Noises created by vehicles on the road etc. Everything is related to music.

I experienced the difference between hearing and listening where hearing is just random noises going in our ears but listening is something that we hear with our full attention. 

“Deep Listening takes us below the surface of our consciousness and helps to change or dissolve limiting boundaries ”- Pauline Oliveros, 1999

The polarity means those water molecules can form hydrogen bonds and attach to other molecules that are also polar, this includes other water molecules. It is like little magnets attracting each other. On the other hand we have oil molecules which are non-polar. This means they can’t form hydrogen bonds with water molecules.This results in water and oil not mixing and instead bunching together.
