All the colours of the rainbow...



In science today we talked about colours, light and rainbows. 

We discovered that light is like waves and that white light from the sun is made up of the colours of the rainbow- Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo and Violet -commonly remembered by the mnemonic ROY GBIV. (We joked that is like someone's name.  We decided that, that someone was a unicorn as there is some silly folklore that unicorns make rainbows.)

We watched a little video with a character named Billy Blue Hair, that talked about how rainbows are made.  If you want to check it out again, it can be found at:

We used a prism before we lost our sunlight to make the white light of the sun refract and display a rainbow on our wall. Then we created our own suncatchers.  We are hoping our class will be filled with rainbows tomorrow. 

Remember that tomorrow is the deadline to send in food for our Scare Hunger campaign.
School Fees are due by the 16th of November.
We hope to see everyone tonight at our Celebration of Learning.  The children are super excited to show off their Ozobots.
