Look what we've been up to recently ...

Last half term our main topic was Science. We learnt all about 'Light and Electricity' we learnt about the function of the eye and the importance of light before writing an explanation text in English about how the eye works. We created circuits which linked to our D&T topic 'Light Box' where we designed and created a light that was aesthetically pleasing out of nets of 3D shapes.

Look at some of our pictures...
