In Science with Mrs. S., we are studying light and this week we learned all about colour, how Isaac Newton discovered (in the 1660s) that white light is actually made up of the colour spectrum like we see in a rainbow, how prisms work, and why white t-shirts feel cool in the sun and black t-shirts feel hot in the sun.
On Tuesday, in between rainstorms, there was the most incredible rainbow over top of our school field. I happened to go outside at lunchtime and saw it. The students told me later on during the lunch hour, there was a double rainbow too. This was incredibly timely and relevant because for the last 3 days, we have been learning about rainbows, light, and colour. Ask your child how and why a rainbow is formed.

| Quiz on Light on Tuesday |
In Math, we continued with Geometry, with students working on challenge/problem solving questions, like making several equilateral triangles from 6 equal lengths of straw.In Music, students continue to practise for the Winter Concert.
Students also made some stained glass-like art for our classroom windows that looks colourful and beautiful from the outside!
See you on Monday,
Mrs. S.
