Explanation
This discussion activity encourages students to observe the sky at different times and share their experiences. The chapter mentions Anandi seeing a rainbow across a 'clear blue sky' and the Sun 'shining in its yellow glory.' Students learn about the changing colours of the sky from morning to night. The note to the teacher encourages every child to express what they see.
