Activities in this teaching pack include display posters to identify and describe all of the colour shades visible in a rainbow and a worksheet to practise using paints to mix different colour shades that could be used to represent different types of weather in a painting.

The interactive presentation gets the children to explore how to mix paint to record all of the different shades of colours that can be seen in a rainbow.

This lesson is part of a art and design scheme of work to get the children to practise different techniques of painting scenes depicting a specific type of rain to simulate natural phenomena in a range of different landscapes. There are teaching activities for shared learning, differentiated worksheets to support independent learning and interactive presentations to introduce concepts and key skills.
