SPL4 and SPL5 had a fantastic time taking part in our rainbow Skittles experiment.

7th Feb 2026
First, we carefully arranged the Skittles in a colourful ring around the edge of a plate. Then, with steady hands, we gently poured water over the top and watched closely to see what would happen.

To our amazement, the colours began to melt and slowly spread through the water, creating a stunning rainbow pattern. It was magical to watch the coloured coating dissolve and diffuse, forming beautiful swirls right before our eyes!
