Wednesday was our concert day. In the afternoon, we rehearsed at St. James' Parish Church and the performance took place there at 7 pm that evening. The carol service was very good and there was an excellent attendance - standing room only for the congregation/audience.

On Thursday we had a science day. We did some work thinking about planning experiments and then we planned and carried out two experiments. One was the second of two experiments on shadows: this time we were investigating the effect of moving the position of the light source on the size of a shadow. In the afternoon, the scenario for our investigation was that a company wished to know what kind of material would make the best reflector for putting "flashes" on a cycle helmet. After planning this experiment we used different materials, torches and light meters to find the best reflector.

On Friday, we thought about opaque, transparent and translucent materials and then completed a review test of the work we had done this term on Light and how we see. We spent the rest of the day on a piece of art work in preparation for making a calender. (We are making a 3d picture.)
