Testing Flexibility

Year 2 Attenborough have been predicting what materials could be flexible or rigid in their Science lesson. We stretched, twisted, squashed, and squeezed different objects to explore their properties.

The Journey of Light

Y3LP have explored the journey light takes from the light source to the human eye. We created our own comic strips to show the process.

Which objects reflect light well?

Y3LP have been exploring a range of different items to find out how they reflect light. We have learnt that items with a shiny surface reflect light best.

Senses investigation

We had to work out was in front of us… the tricky part was, we couldn’t use our sense of sight! We had to use our other senses to find out the answers.

Signs of Autumn

After collecting signs of Autumn on our Autumn walk, we were able to label them correctly with our groups.

Autumn vocabulary walk

Y2DA had a wonderful morning exploring nature and collecting vocabulary for our Autumn acrostic poem. We can identify nouns and adjectives when collecting our ideas.

Autumn

This week we went on a walk to spot signs of Autumn. This helped us with our writing.

What do we need? What can we do?

In science this week, we learned what we need and can do at each stage of the life cycle.

How does light travel?

Y3LP have learnt that light always travels in straight lines. We created and completed an experiment to show this. We used three large pieces of cardboard each with a hole in them at the same height. We lined up the pieces of cardboard, put a candle at the end and looked through the holes to see the light. Then we moved the middle piece of cardboard each with and could no longer see the light as the straight path was blocked…
