The theme for Science week this year is LIGHT. We have learned that 'white light' is made up of the seven colours of the rainbow and this was discovered by Isaac Newton. We can see examples of this in glass prisms, puddles, rainbows and reflection of shiny surfaces such as CDs. We made our own rainbow spinners and spun them as fast as we could so they would become white. Here's how we did!
