In Science we have been investigating light and shadow. We have carried out a number of experiments to help us discover which materials reflect light and why, which materials are translucent, transparent and opaque and how shadows are made. To do this we created our own shadow puppets and changed the distance from the light source to determine if we could change the pattern of the shadows!

Today we completed our House teams time challenge.... The children blew me away with their time telling skills and I can tell the children have been practicing at home.

As well as learning to tell the time, we have also been learning about money. The children were able to confidently recognize the value of money and did some great problem solving to add and subtract money.

In English we have been discussing the features of a fairytale and compared the characters, events and setting in both the Egyptian Cinderella and the Traditional Cinderella. We will be using all of our knowledge of fairytales to begin to write an alternative ending next week!

Key Dates:

* Special Person's Event - Friday 14th June at 1:30pm (The children will have the chance to make a craft for a special person in their life)
