Light and Dark

In our new science topic we will be finding out all about light. We began our topic by talking about what we would like to find out about light, using 'I wonder...' thought bubbles. We are wondering why it gets light in the morning, how the sun works, how the light comes in our house and how light bulbs work amongst other things! We added our thought bubbles to our display.

Mrs Daly then took the children into the stock cupboard and closed the door! In the dark, the children passed round objects and used their other senses of touch, hearing and smell to work out what they were.

The children all learned that we need light to be able to see!

Here is a bbc science clips activity that you might like to look at with your child.
