Rainbow writing


Today we followed a set of instructions from Junior Journal 24 for Rainbow writing. We identified the verbs or doing words at each stage.

Rainbow Writing

You will need:

  • two sheets of paper the same size
  • a sharp pencil or pen
  • a set of oil pastels


  1. Use the pastels to draw stripes in rainbow colours on one of the sheets of paper. Press hard and colour in every bit of the paper. Dark colours work best.
  2. Turn the coloured sheet over and place it face down on top of the other sheet of paper.
  3. Write on the back of your coloured paper with a sharp pencil or pen. Press firmly.



When you have finished, take the top sheet of paper off, and you will have rainbow writing.


"Rainbow writing is cool!" said Reilly.

"Rainbow writing is fun to do." said Scarlett.

"It is easy to do by yourself." said Josh.

Nana and Grandad were very impressed with the rainbow writing that Zane did for them. Looks like you all had fun doing them.
