This half term, year 6's have been exploring electricity. To begin with, they identified how electricity can occur naturally by investigating the question 'can your drawing power a lightbulb'. From this, they looked at how to sort appliances and how electricity is converted. In addition to this, they conducted research to find out about electricity, different energy sources and how to stay safe. 

As part of their unit of light, team LF have also been identifying different parts of our eyes, by labelling the inner and outer areas. This is to deepen their understanding on how light enters their eye in a straight line.

This autumn term, Team DB have been exploring light. They have demonstrated how light travels in a straight line from its light source to our eyes and then how it travels from a light source, to an object and then to our eyes. They created a model to show how this happens and labelled it with an explanation. 

This half term in Team SG, they have been speaking about what light is, where it comes from and why it becomes dark. They have been investigating the various things that light allows us to see and then predicted what they would be able to see in their flashlights. 

This half term as part of their pattern seeking investigation, Team DB have been exploring if there is a relationship between a mammal's size and it's gestation period.  Overall, they found out that the smaller the animal, the shorter the gestation period is and the bigger the animal, the longer the gestation period is. 

This half term Team LF have explored how the planets distance from the sun affects its temperature as part of their pattern seeking investigation.
