Rainbows and shadows

We know the colours of the rainbow.
There are seven colours in the rainbow
red and orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet
We know how to sing this song about rainbow colours.
We also know a rainbow poem in Irish.
Dath dearg,  dath oráistedath buídath glasdath gormdath corcra...
hé, bogha báistí!
Today we used triangular prisms and we made our own rainbows by splitting sunlight into its colours.
We needed a sunny day for this.


We also looked at our own shadows and saw how to make them bigger and smaller.
We really enjoyed making rainbows and shadows.
