As scientists, we will learn
about Light. They will recognise that light appears to travel in straight lines; use the idea that light travels in straight lines to explain that objects are seen because they give out or reflect light into the eye; explain that we see things because light travels from light sources to our eyes or from light sources to objects and then to our eyes; and finally, children learn how to use the idea that light travels in straight lines to explain why shadows have the same shape as the objects that cast them.
As computer scientists, we will learn how to create and develop spreadsheets.
