WB 05.01.26- 09.01.26

First week back! This week we have been busy exploring our new topic which focuses on light and dark. To launch the new topic, year reception, 1, 2 and 3 worked with eachother to complete 6 carosouel activites all based around our new topic. They explored how shaddows are made, how light reflects differently off different materials and even made their own circuits which included a working bulb. We have also introduced the 'Investigation Area' where it gives the learners the opportunity to explore science using different materials and items. To end the week we had a visitor from author Alex Warton who shared some of his poems and books with the learners.
