Learners from Year 6 at Woodlands Academy have been developing their love of science by discovering how rainbows are created.
As part of a hands-on scientific investigation, pupils used torches and prisms to demonstrate how white light can be split into the visible colour spectrum. Through this engaging experiment, learners observed first-hand how light refracts and separates into the vibrant colours of a rainbow.
The activity encouraged teamwork, critical thinking and curiosity, as pupils worked collaboratively to ask questions, test their ideas and examine their findings in detail.
By exploring the science behind a natural phenomenon, the class deepened their understanding while building essential investigative skills.
A spokesperson for the academy said: “We are incredibly proud of our Year 6 learners for their enthusiasm and curiosity.
“Practical experiments like this bring science to life, helping pupils to understand complex concepts in an exciting and memorable way.
“It’s wonderful to see them working together, asking thoughtful questions and developing a genuine passion for discovery.”
