We have been so busy this week finding more and more information about rainbows and how they are formed....Thanks to Acacia, Zak, Charlie and Jack Hume for their rainbow facts, photos and resources!! They were much appreciated and created much discussion amongst the children.
We have discussed how a rainbow is formed and discovered that it is the white light that gets 'bent' causing it to 'refract' and share it's beautiful colours with us. Hence the reason why we don't nessecarily need both sun and rain at the same time...Very interesting!!
We have also discussed the acronym ROY
G BIV...a neat way of remembering which way the colours are distributed throughout the rainbow...Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo and Violet and we have been amazed at how quickly the children have picked this up...in particular, Dylan and Cameron.

Check out the project room this week as the children continue to work on a large mosiac rainbow that will eventually be displayed in the Takahe mat area...It is starting to take shape and I must say it does look very very cool!!
Keep sending through those rainbow facts...they are great discussion starters with the children.
And a reminder to everyone that next week is the last week of Term 2 and we will be back for more adventures on the 19th of July!!
Have a great weekend everyone...
Kylie and Judy
