How do we see things?
In Science we are learning about ‘How we see things’. We have looked in detail at the structure of the eye, how light travels and the process of how we actually see images. We have even completed an ‘Eye Assault Course’ where we pretended to be beams of light making the journey into the eye!
Because we now know this topic so well, for this week’s homework Miss Shearer set us the task of writing a short story about the journey of light from the light source, into our eye and to our brain. To make it more interesting we had to write in 1st person (as if we actually were the light). Over the next few days some of these stories will be appearing on the blog so keep your eyes peeled!
While you’re here why not see how much you know about ‘How we see things’ by visiting:

Blue Peter Badge!
This week Chloe has recieved something very special – A Blue Peter badge! Below Chloe explains how she achieved this:
“I went on to their website and saw that if you wrote a letter saying why you wanted a Blue Peter badge
and your details you could win one. It had to be at least 50 words long and very descriptive. Then I sent it off my letter. The people at Blue Peter would choose only a few people to get a badge. And I was one of them!!!!”
Here is a picture of Chloe’s Blue Peter badge and a signed photo she also recieved. Well done Chloe!

Should schools be closed for snow?
Now we’re into December and the weather is much colder we are asking ourselves “Should schools close for snow?”. In 6CSh English this week we are going to research and to write our own persuasive argument (to put on the blog so stay posted!) on this topic so it would be really great to get some ideas from the public.
So what do you think? Are snow days important for making sure children stay safe or are they just an excuse for a day off?
We would love to hear what you think! You can also vote on the blog post below 🙂
