Join host Ticky Tocket on today’s episode of *Wake Up Kids* for a colorful science adventure perfect for curious kids aged 7 to 9!

She reveals the amazing truth that ordinary white sunlight actually contains all the colors of the rainbow inside it—red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple! Discover how tiny raindrops left in the air after a shower act like tiny prisms, bending and splitting the light to paint a beautiful arc of color across the sky. Along with a chilly, showery weather forecast for Lindfield, Ticky shares a positive life lesson inspired by the sky.
