Foundation Subjects

Science

As scientists, we’re learning all about light and shadows! We found out that light comes from things like the Sun and torches, and it always travels in straight lines. We’ve been testing different materials to see which ones let light through and which ones make shadows. It’s really fun watching how shadows change when we move things around! We will also learn how mirrors reflect light and why it’s important to protect ourselves from the Sun. I can’t wait to find out more!

Geography

As geographers, we will journey deep beneath the Earth’s surface to discover what makes our planet shake! We’ll learn about the structure of the Earth and explore the mysterious tectonic plates that cover it.

We’ll also look at real earthquake disasters around the world and find out how people prepare for and respond to these natural events.
