It is another fun Friday in literacy! Today we are going to predict what happens next …

Mike and his friend Joe are experienced rock climbers enjoying what they do best. However, as the sky begins to cloud over quickly, spots of rain fall. 

Your task is to write what happens next. Here are some ideas to think about:

  • What dangers are there around Mike?
  • What problem could happen to Mike?
  • How could it be fixed?
  • How do Mike and Joey finish the story?

Today we are going to be looking at reflection. Watch this video about the use of reflective materials for safety.

Have a look through the PowerPoint.

The Brilliant Bags Company want to make a new book bag for children to use to carry their things to and from school. They want to make sure the bag helps children stay safe while walking near roads on dark mornings or evenings. They have decided to put a reflective strip on the book bag, so that drivers can see the book bag easily when their car headlights shine on it.

You are going to have to test how reflective materials are. You will need 6 materials to test such as CDs, tin foil, paper, different fabrics, bubble wrap, cardboard.

In order to test the materials, you will need to make a reflection tester.

Attach a piece of white card to a torch:

  1. Cut a hole in the centre of the card and push the torch through so that the card fits snugly around the torch without you having to hold it.
  2. Shine the torch at the material you are testing.
  3. If the material reflects light well, you will see the reflected light shine through the white card and light it up.

Which material do you think will be best for the bag? Write your prediction down and create a results table in your home learning books. It could look like this or an example can be found here:

You will need to test the different materials to see how reflective they are. After, you need to decide which would be best for the book bag. Explain why you choose the material and think about what happened when you tested it and what it looks and feels like.

Here is the Lego challenge for today! Remember to email us your creations! If you don't have Lego, don't worry any construction material will do. Good luck … 

Thank you all so much for your hard work again this week! I am going to create another collage of pictures tonight of all your fabulous work of the week so keep the emails coming today!

Have a lovely weekend and stay safe!
