This week in Kathryn’s class, we have been experimenting with light! We were so brave being one of the first classes to present our learning to our friends from other year groups in Achievement Assembly. Together, we developed a script. Here it is: ‘We made a line of enquiry to investigate: what happens when a solid object is put in front of a light source? As a group, we agreed on a hypothesis: ‘The solid object will cast a shadow’. We listed the equipment we needed. The sun was the light source we used. We made shadow puppets and went to the sunny playground. The shadow puppets blocked the sun light. We observed shadows on the yard. This is because light travels in straight lines.’

We also found out… We are SCIENTISTS!
