This afternoon we had a look at all of the bits about rainbows in our various reference/non-fiction books, most of which just reinforced what we had already talked about. We ended reading the whole of My Best Book of Weather which was really interesting and we all learned quite a lot, for example, the different levels of the atmosphere, from the troposphere (where our weather happens) nearest the earth up to the exosphere furthest away. As well as weather it covered climate, seasons, meteorology, ice ages and interglacial periods, the water cycle, renewable energy and climate change and pollution. As you can imagine there were various side-shoot conversations as a result, such as the one about smog in Victorian London.
In addition to the reading and discussion K also added some more to her poster (I'm not allowed to see it until it's finished, although I must admit to having a little peek and did see the word 'refracted' on there) and she finished her rainbow picture. It's all done in tissue paper except the little flowers which are drawn on in pen.
