Making Shadows

What is as big as an elephant but weighs nothing?

The elephant's shadow!

                                             

As part of our Science this term we have been learning about light and dark and what makes shadows. On a recent sunny day, we went outside and figured out how to make the biggest shadow we could...

And the smallest shadows we could.

And then we had a lot of fun trying to get away from our shadows...but we couldn't!

Ti Point Reptile Park

The whole school had a brilliant outing recently when we all visited Ti Point Reptile Park.
The sun was shining which encouraged all the reptiles to put themselves on display as they basked in the warmth.
We were lucky enough to pat a tortoise, get up close with tuatara and see baby turtles and lizards!
