Well done for helping to raise money for the Midlands Air Ambulance charity by wearing red for the day! We have been discussing what an important service they provide to help save people’s lives.

In our science topic on light, children have been investigating how shadows can change. We looked at what happens to a shadow when the object moves further away from a light source and also how the angle of the light source changes the length of a shadow. 🔦

Investigating reflection

🔦 Tigers had lots of fun this afternoon investigating mirrors and reflection. We have been learning that light travels in straight lines but the direction can be changed by using reflective objects such as mirrors. Children then drew clear, scientific diagrams to demonstrate their findings. 🔦
