Let There Be LIGHT!

In Year 3, the children have just started their learning in Science for this half term; their Science topic is Light and Shadow.

Yesterday afternoon, the children spent lots of time, discussing, making observations, predictions and statements based on a few experiments completed together based on light.

Scarlett, from 3F, knew lots about light before Mr Farry even started teaching it.  She bravely stood in front of the class imparting her scientific knowledge to her peers.  She said statements like: “Darkness absorbs light and light cannot bend around corners, also she discussed some home experiments she had already completed at home.

The children participated in a fun experiment to describe how we can see things in light, although it wasn’t that easy, as there were objects hidden in the darkness of some pre-made boxes.  Lots of fun was had to figure out the contents in the boxes as the pictures suggest.

As a plenary, somehow, the conversation was steered today how and why the sky is blue during the day and red during dawn & dusk – a concept which surpasses Year 3 BUT there’s nothing wrong with high expectations!

Mr D. Farry

Hi, my name is Mr Farry, I still consider myself very much part of a great team in a great school, we really do ALL pull together to ensure the children complete a fantastic and enjoyable curriculum. I am still the P.E coordinator (a veteran now that I’ve joined the over 40s club), and still completely passionate about sport and my role in sport at Park. I am still actively involved external sports (both team and individual) and consider this essentially to maintaining a healthy body and mind. The children will tell you I’m still the jovial and humorous person I was when I joined the school, buy I’m simply four/five years older and ‘hopefully’ a little wiser, albeit with a few stray greys! My classroom is a busy place, with high expectations whilst still maintaining a nurturing environment, especially with the kind and generous Mrs Lucas by my side. The children, thus, continue to feel comfortable and content in their learning environment.
