This term in Science, we are learning about light and how it travels.

We will also be learning about the human eye and how it works.

Have a look around your local environment, how many different sources of light can you find?

Do they make light or reflect light from another source?

We are almost at the end of this fantastic text and everyone in Y6 is very excited to see the film version at the cinema on                         Friday 8th December.

• Which parts did you enjoy the most?

As part of our ‘Natural Disasters’ topic, the next area of study will be tornadoes.

Can you find out any information about them?

• How are they formed?

• What wind speeds can they reach?
• What type of damage can they cause?
