    • Science Superstars

      Published 05/06/26, by Year Leaders

      Year 3 enjoyed a Science workshop where they learnt all about light. We talked about refraction and tried on some special refraction glasses that turned everything into rainbows! We explored UV light and investigated which objects glow under UV light. We learnt about how money is tested with UV lights and even checked some money to see if it was real. We finished our sessions by making a UV bracelet that changes colour in the sun and were very excited to go outside to test them!

      This afternoon, all together, we had an exciting assembly all about bubbles! We learnt about chemical reactions and how they can create bubbles. Everyone enjoyed being scientists for the day!

      This half term, Year 3 were challenged with a homework project that asked them to create a dragon.
