Year 3 became super scientists for the morning on Tuesday, taking part in the Light and Dark STEM workshop exploring light and dark. The pupils explored how shadows are formed, how light can be reflected in different ways and got the chance to make their very own kaleidoscope!

The children were asked to think about how we get night time and day time. They then participated in an enjoyable interactive group session using a ‘black out tent’ and various objects to develop their understanding that light is needed in order to see and that darkness is the absence of light. After that, they then split into small groups to make kaleidoscopes. During this time they all had an opportunity to go in a black out tent and do other activities relating to the workshop.

Take a look at them in action...
