Rainbows - Science, Art and Bible Explorers

October 2024

In Science Year 1 have been learning how rainbows are formed, as light shines through a raindrop, the light bends and is split into 7 colours. In Art we have painted rainbows, carefully remembering the order of the colours. In Bible Explorers we learnt how God used the symbol of a rainbow to show his promise to never flood the Earth again. We will use these painted rainbows to create hanging mobiles of God's promises.
