Happy Friday everyone!
What a week it's been - I hope you've all been keeping busy at home, but managing to find some time to relax and enjoy family time as well.
I've been trying to make the most of the sunshine and have been encouraging my own children to do some of their homework in the garden - getting some fresh air is really important for all of us.
As it's so sunny, you could have a look at how shadows are formed. Can you think of a really good sentence explaining what a shadow is and how it is made?
You could also try to find out how shadows change as the sun changes its position in the sky. Take one of your teddies into the garden and measure their shadow in the morning, at midday (be careful about sunburn though!) and in the evening. What happens to the shadow as the sun moves? Does it matter if you stand teddy in a different place each time?
Keep a record of the different measurements you take and see if you can make a table and a bar chart to present your findings. Can you think of a scientific rule to explain your results?
You can also do some artwork using shadows - I saw this idea online. Draw carefully around the shadows and then you can colour and decorate your designs as you like.
That's all from me for this week - I will update again on Monday, and add next week's schoolwork tasks to the 3V Google Drive then.
Have a great weekend!
Mrs Vaqueiro
