Our Science focus this term is to learn all about light. So far, we have looked at how light travels and items that are transparent, opaque and reflective. We have also looked at the human eye and how we see light.

Today we made our own periscopes using card and mirrors. We discussed how this proved that light travels in straight lines and how reflective surfaces like mirrors make light bounce in a different direction. We also watched a video that explained how a periscope was used and how the angle of the mirror was to be at 45 degrees in order to maximise what we could see.
