Year Fives ‘Let it Shine’.

31st Jan 2025
 

 

 

As part of our WAU topic ‘Lights and Sparks’, the Year 5s have been investigating Light.

They explored natural and artificial light sources and using prisms they could see that sunlight is made up of all the colours. They made their own colour spinners to also show this.

The pupils carried out a variety of investigations exploring how shadows are formed, how light passes through different materials depending on whether the material is transparent, translucent, or opaque. Another investigation carried out was Does the size of a shadow change when the light source is moved away from the object.

Year 5s explored how our eyes work and how the work of Louis Braille helped those who can’t see.
