Science

​​​​​​Term 1

This term, we will be learning about light and shadow.

The enquiry questions we will be exploring are:

Can we see without light?

How does light behave when it is reflected?

Can we change how shadows are formed?

How can we protect our eyes from the sun?

Do shadows stay the same all day?

There will be opportunities for practical exploration and investigating within each lesson with children developing their skills in working scientifically in the five areas of disciplinary knowledge.

Each lesson will begin with an opportunity for children to retrieve their learning from prior lessons within the term, earlier in Year Three or even previous year groups.  This is done through exploring pictures, words and objects within our science suitcase.  Children are encouraged to use scientific vocabulary when making links to their prior learning.
