Year 3 pupils have been busy investigating how light and shadows work through a range of hands-on activities. In Science, they conducted an experiment to find out how the distance of a light source affects the size of a shadow. Pupils worked carefully to carry out a fair test, changing one variable while keeping others the same, and recording their observations.

Learning didn’t stop there! Pupils also explored shadows in PE, using movement and positioning to create different shapes and sizes.To deepen their understanding further, Year 3 carried out an outdoor investigation, marking their shadows in chalk at different times of the day. This helped them see how shadows change as the position of the sun moves across the sky.

A fantastic example of practical, engaging learning in action.
