✨ Bringing Science to life outside the classroom! ☀️🔍
Strength in our diverse foundation, united in our shared values.✨
Finding stillness in a fast-paced world. 🌅✨
A marvellous celebration of literature! ✨
Our Year 4 students have been thoroughly enjoying their latest Science topic. To understand how light works and how the sun’s position changes throughout the day, they stepped outside for a fantastic practical experiment!
Working brilliantly in pairs, the students investigated shadows by outlining each other at different times of the day. This hands-on activity allowed them to directly observe, measure, and compare the distinct differences in the length and direction of their shadows.
Active investigations like this are the perfect way to make our Cambridge Science curriculum engaging and memorable, fostering natural curiosity and excellent teamwork along the way. 👏💡
