Revision tips

As the end of Year6 get closer, start to focus in on where you need to practise the most.

USEFUL TIPS:
Start drawing up a revision timetable. Follow these tips:

• Revise the subjects you find most challenging first;
• Plan in time to relax as well as to work;
• Use colour to separate subjects (it looks pretty!);
• Try your hardest to stick to your timetable and reward yourself for hard work.

Some research to do over the holidays if you have some time in hand....

We are looking at the idea of personification in literacy

Coastal erosion

On the map you should be able to spot :

• bays
• headlands
• shingle beaches
• stacks
• cliffs

Can you find any examples of this coastal feature on Goole Earth or Google maps?

What we know about light so far....

Light comes from a source

Sun  

electric light

candle

fire

 stars

glow worm

fire fly stars

Things that are not sources of light

moon

planets

mirrors

shiny objects

Light has 3 important properties

1. Light travels in straight lines from a source to our eyes

2.  If something is in the way then a shadow is formed

3 Light travels very fast - 186,000 miler per second

How do we see objects that aren't sources of light ?

When light touches an object some things happen -

• black surfaces absorb light
• very shiny surfaces reflect light
• other surfaces scatter light

Labels for your diagram

1. Light travels from the light source in all directions
2. Some light touches an object
3.  Light is scattered from the object in all directions
4. Some light is scattered into our eyes - we see the object



Homework

1.    How does light travel?

2.   What word do we use to describe where light comes from?

3.   When light hits an object, what are the three things that can happen?

   4.   Explain how we see things

Draw and label a diagram, including these things: 
eye/person, light beam, light source, object, light ray bouncing off the object

There are 3 activities about coasts to have a look at in your own time

Don't forget to have a look at at the revision ideas posted earlier in the blog. There are some links to look at too.

Our new science topic is all about light..here are some fun optical illusions to do with light and colour..what happens?
