Year 3 have been deepening their understanding of fractions by using concrete resources.
We had to wait all week for a sunny day to do our shadow investigation. Luckily, Thursday we had clear skies to enjoy. Our investigation involved discovering how shadows behave. We tested this by drawing round our shadows at three different times in the day. The children marvelled at just how tall their shadows were at this time of year.
We noticed that the shadows stayed roughly the same size but moved to the right each time. We are excited to do this investigation again in the summer and see if the shadows change in a different way!
