Roy G. Biv

This week Grade 1/2 turned once again to the outside world for inspiration and learned about the colours of the rainbow. To help remember the colours and their order, the class was introduced to a mysterious man named Roy G. Biv - or an acronym for red, orange, yellow, blue, indigo and violet. Grade 1/2 also learned about the basic Science behind a rainbow and why we only see one when there is rain and sun. The class then made their own rainbows using objects found in the classroom.

If you can remember any of your own acronyms or mnemonic devices to remember the colours of the rainbow, we would love to hear them.

Kind regards,
